The establishment of landfill covers consumes substantial amounts of fuels and materials that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel depletion (FFD). This study compared the global warming impact (GWI) and FFD of a shrub willow evapotranspiration (ET), conventional clay, and geosynthetic cover using life cycle assessment (LCA). The willow ET cover is a carbon-negative system with a total GWI of -13,206 kgCO2eq ha-1 over 30 years, while the GWI of clay (194,916 kgCO2eq ha-1) and geosynthetic covers (260,212 kgCO2eq ha-1
