    The first statement, "conserves around 9 cubic yards in landfill space" is false. This is because the units of landfill space are inconsistent with the quantity. "Space" would be the area in this case and that would be measured in square yards, not cubic yards.

    The remaining quantities' units are consistent with what they represent (b is number of trees, c is energy, and d is volume)
