Waste Management
Reduce; recycle; reuses are the three great ways you can eliminate waste and protect your environment. Waste and how we choose to handle it; affects our world's environment. We need healthy environment for our own health and happiness. And for this effective waste management is important. The waste we create has to be carefully controlled to be sure that it does harm your environment and your health. Waste is anything we throw away or get rid of; that doesn't get used. For this we can do following things:
Use compact fluorescent lights as it saves energy and less greenhouse gases will get into the air. Use compositing bans to turn organic waste into usable mulch.
Don't throw anything that can be recycled. We should use natural resources wisely and use less than usual in order to avoid waste. You can reuse materials in their original form instead of throwing them away. -Suryaveer Singh/ X/DH
