If world leaders choose to fail us, my generation will never forgive them

Gret Thunberg

The disarming case to act right now on climate change | Greta Thunberg

Solid waste is the useless, unwanted and discarded material resulting from day to day activities in the community. Solid waste management may be defined as the discipline associated with the control of generation, storage, collection, transfer, processing and disposal of solid waste. The present paper based on the study carried out on solid waste management practice by Yavatmal municipal corporation.

Solid waste management is the collection, treatment and disposal of solid materials that are discarded by purpose or no longer useful. Improper disposal of solid waste result in unsanitary conditions which lead to pollution and spreads various infections and diseases.

Solid waste management is one of the major challenges faced by many countries around the globe. Inadequate collection, recycling or treatment and uncontrolled disposal of waste in dumps can lead to severe hazards, such as health risks and environmental pollution.

My message is that we'll be watching you. This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. Yet I am one of the lucky ones. People are suffering.

This are examples for what is happenin becase of the pollutions. Shere it to rise the awarness!

Some facts about waste in our world

facts: 1. Every year we dump a massive 2.12 billion tons of waste. 2. This stunning amount of This stunning amount of waste is partly because 99 percent of the stuff we buy is trashed within 6 months. 3. Leading green companies are becoming zero-waste companies. Zero waste is a philosophy that encourages redesign so that all products are reused. The process is similar to the way resources are reused in nature. 4. Between 20% and 40% of fruit and vegetables are rejected by supermarkets before they even hit the shelves. Why? Because they don’t adhere to their cosmetic standards – they’re misshapen, lumpy or just plain weird-looking. 5. The amount of trash generated by the UK could fill Britain’s largest lake, Lake Windermere, in just 8 months. 6. We used to get through 500 million plastic bags every week in the UK – amounting to billions of bags and thousands of tonnes of plastic.

7. It’s not just what goes in the bin that counts as waste – water can be wasted, too. A single leaky tap in your house can waste as much as 5,000 litres of water a year. If we all fixed our dripping taps we could supply 120,000 people with a day’s worth of water.

Waste Sollutions

Recycling is to return the product to its raw materials and prepare a different product from them. That way, no further polluting trash is created and no other resources are needed.

Soil Pollution

As the population grows the amount of waste also increases and we need to eliminate the waste that is created, so we bury it in the soil. Chemical pollutants get out of the buried waste and polluting the soil, what hurts the food chain and agronomy.

Water Pollution

We need water to live, but we destroy it: we use the sea as our trash can - what we can't see we can't feel, but it makes everything worse- by throwing the waste to the sea, we hit thousands of species of sea creatures and destroy their homes. More than that, we harm our limited sources of water.

What causes air pollution?

How much pollution we breathe in is dependent on many factors, such as access to clean energy for cooking and heating and the weather. Air pollution can get to long distances, sometimes across continents on international weather patterns.

Nobody is safe from this pollution, which comes from five main human sources. These sources spew out a range of substances including carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxide, ground-level ozone, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, and lead–all of which are harmful to human health.

Open waste burning and organic waste in landfills release harmful dioxins, furans, methane, and fine particulate matter like black carbon into the atmosphere. Globally, an estimated 40 percent of waste is openly burned. The problem is most severe in urbanizing regions and developing countries.
