Explanation:
One such problem that has caught people’s attention in the current scenario is the ever increasing waste and our inability to deal with it. With the ever growing human population and increasing living standard of people, new settlements are seen burgeoning and industries have also been established to meet the growing human needs for survival. Of course, new agricultural methods are adopted with the help of pesticides and fertilizers for meeting the growing needs for consumption. So much other things are also practiced for a comfy living. In return, waste matter is generated from industrial and domestic activities, which is dumped into our surroundings.
Cities are now struggling with the problems of high build up of waste and its impact on our immediate and global environment. As a result, environmental pollution has come to an alarming stage where our environment is experiencing an irreparable damage. Solid and liquid wastes as well as gas particles released from the industries; run off pesticides and fertilizers from the agricultural practices as well as household sewage from urban regions have come to a point beyond disposal.
It’s high time when we have to do a smart handling of “waste” and actually understand whether waste is indeed a waste or not. There is an obvious requirement for the latest waste disposal technology which is centered on municipalities and makes use of high/energy technology in order to progress towards processing and recycling of waste.
The easier waste management method would be to bring down the formation of waste materials. This way we can control the quantity of waste thrown in the landfills. You can recycle old materials for waste reduction and it can be bags, jars, repairing broken pieces rather than buying a new one, avoiding the use of disposable items, such as plastic glass and bags, putting into use second hand products and purchasing products that don’t require much designing.
Then composting is yet again a hassle-free and natural bio-degradation based process which makes use of organic waste, i.e. kitchen waste and remains of garden or plants and transforms it into nutrient-rich food for your plants. It is one of the excellent methods of waste disposal where it can transform unsafe organic items into safe compost.
Landfills are the highly sought after methods for the disposal of waste these days. Landfills are only successful where there is a lot of space and unfortunately it’s a success only in developed countries. However, it is said that landfills lead to water and air pollution and inevitably affect the environment. So besides this, you can look for other methods I have just described for waste management and protect your environment from the hazardous impact of piled up waste.
