"the number of landfills in the united states has decreased from over 7,000 in the year 1989 to less than 2,000 in the year 2014"

FALSE

Explanation: According to the EPA(environmental protection agency) the number of Lanfill in the United States of America has increased continuously since the last century. It is noted that an Average United States household generate about 4.4tons of wastes which most of the trash will find its way to the landfills. Landfills have been implicated in the release of HALF METHANE, CARBONDIOXIDE, VAPOUR, NITROGEN, HYDROGEN etc Some of the compounds are major causes of GLOBAL WARMING.

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
