Anyone is hardly concerned about the waste that a person disposes off. A large part of the garbage disappears from our sigh as it is collected by the garbage collectors. Therefore many of us are happy with the fact that we have not accumulated garbage. By this activity we can free the surrounding of a little pollution.
We get complacent about the waste disposal, as we have much less awareness
We do not see the places where all the trash goes and gets processed. This ignorance often makes us think that it is the best way to dispose of waste and there is no need to think about it any further.
This is where we are actually wrong. Sparing a thought about waste disposal and educating our children too on it, has its reasons which are quite justified. The reasons are as follows:
Some waste materials contain minerals and hard metals. These can pollute the environment. Electric waste production is increasing everyday in the world. Environmentalists are already concerned about disposal of electronic wastes which have hard metal components.
It requires a huge space to dispose of the waste even if it is disposed off properly. This a problem as the cities suffers from space problem.
Along with the cost involved in the disposal, these wastes are neither environment friendly nor human friendly.
Steps we can take to reduce waste
This is what we could do to reduce waste, when we are convinced that waste reduction is very vital and that we need to act upon it. These steps could be as follows.
We can reduce the amount of packaging waste from our household. It is seen that about one third of all waste produced is in the form of discarded packaging. One way is for you is to buy your goods that has less or no packaging material.
You should be careful buying mercury based products as mercury being highly toxic, pollutes the environment quite easily.
According to as study everyday in America about 40 % of food gets wasted. Many parts of the world suffer from starvation therefore wasting food is offensive. Only the required amount of food should be prepared and consummated.
We waste a good amount of paint each year. Some of these paints are still usable. Before you dispose of unusual paint, try to find some use of it. Also buy economically.
Many products can be recycled and reused
There are business organizations which gift promotional items made of recyclable material. This is a good practice. A corporate social responsibility can bring in many changes in our lives and in the lives of others too.
Another good sign is the recycling of scrap tires, natural tubes by many companies. They recycle by using this rubber instead of new raw material. The rubber decomposes very slowly thus throwing rubber uselessly would cause a lot of environment hazards. Manufacturing rubber using reclaimed rubber uses much lesser energy.
Recycled rubber is used n the production of many goods of household necessity. Products like batteries, floor-mats; footwear can be made of recycled rubber and can be a sensible part in creating a greener earth.
