How To Manage Garbage To Protect The Environment
Garbage is an alarming problem for the whole world and needs great attention from the stakeholders of current
society. On average India generates 62 million tonnes of waste every year. Out of this, only 43 million tonnes (70%)
are collected, of which about 12 million tonnes are treated leaving 31 million tonnes to be dumped in landfill sites.
In this article, we will understand this grave problem including different strategies to manage garbage in order to
protect the environment.
Conclusion
Effectively managing garbage is a fundamental responsibility if we are to protect the environment for future
generations. Embracing the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, implementing proper waste segregation,
composting organic waste, promoting Extended Producer Responsibility, adopting advanced waste treatment
technologies, and fostering community involvement and education are all crucial steps in achieving this goal.
Each individual’s actions count, and by collectively working towards better garbage management, we can mitigate
the adverse effects of waste on the environment, conserve resources, and create a sustainable future for our planet.
