Answer 1

As we know that Waste Management is almost 2nd next big problem after misuse of nuclear technology. For proper waste management we should manage & control it right from the beginning, where it generates & produces. So from ward level to till state level we should deploy well managed mechanism to manage it. The Local Authority must have a dedicated team of skilled & trained workers & fleet of waste collection trucks. There should be men on duty moves with each truck for waste & garbage collections from every street of each ward. They segregate on spot as much possible like dry waste or wet garbage. They separate the plastic & edible / food item in different large bins. However most of times residents only manage at their end & dump in respective Bins at the end corner of each street. After collecting from all over area they finally dump whole waste at main dump yard outside the city.Municipal   team separate the waste at the time of collation from area only in large bin & final separation done at dump yard at the time of waste processing according to the type of waste .Like Wet, Dry, Plastics or hazardous waste. More support of residents will be appreciated & fast execution from authority will be too good. We people at home should try to generate as less as possible waste. Then if there is waste then we try to recycle at home only by different natural process. We give waste food to pet, if any generated. Make our home no plastic zone. We are trying to working of zero plastic use. We carry most of times paper & jute bags. Finally when we the people & government body joined hands together to fight with menace of Waste & garbage then only our future generation see the bright tomorrow & green India with clean environment. This is our mutual duty to manage, control & recycle the waste for the sake of healthy life of all living & non-living things

                         Indispensability of Waste Management

 Jacques Yves Cousteau, the famous French conservationist and environmentalist once said: “Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.” The menaces of unplanned and haphazard urbanization and industrialization have taken an irreparable toll on our environment. The unmanageable proliferation of human population leads to colossal creation of waste. What aggravates the situation is lack of waste management infrastructure and waste treatment plants especially in the developing countries.   

The problem of waste management is very grim in India. It is estimated that 62 million tonnes of garbage is generated everyday by the 377 million people living in urban India, now the world’s third-largest garbage generator. As stated earlier, the issue is quite worrisome because there is no proper waste management system in any of the cities. Even in the capital of India, Delhi, as one enters from Karnal, a huge mountain of burned garbage greets the eyes of the visitors. The stink and squalor are an apt prelude to the state of affair throughout the country.

 

In some of the very big cities heap of garbage remain piled up for days together waiting to be disposed, not to mention the absence of any advanced garbage treatment plants. Similarly most of the effluents from industries and sewage from city’s drainage systems are dumped into pure water bodies. As a consequence the environment has degraded a lot. There is an increase of many contagious diseases and infections.

 

The need of the hour is the Government must revise its waste management policy and implement proper waste management regulations throughout the country. Proper waste and sewage treatment plants should be installed in each and every city. Toxic emissions of industries must be strictly regularized.  Installation of toxic smoke and effluents treatment plants must be mandatory at every industrial unit.

 

It is not the luxury we are talking about. Waste management is the need of the hour. Any further delay in managing the waste scientifically would mean further damage to our environment and health complications to the people of our country. The Government and the people must associate the waste management drive to the already ongoing Swach Bharat Abhiyan. The people must also contribute towards waste management. They must help the government system process and dispose the waste properly.

 

  

With the collective will and participation of the people, this problem of waste management is quite manageable. Each one of us must manage waste at our own individual level.
