I often wonder of the amount of trash humans produce in a day. It’s a daunting concern that keeps on bugging me; We all have trashcans and all but still some people doesn’t know how to manage there trash.
I know majority of the people around this planet has been educated on the off-putting effects of the build up of waste products, yet a lot still don’t know the difference between a trash bin and a bench.
Caring for the environment is like taking the utmost concern for our physical being. For most girls, a tiny zit brings horror to their day, how much more on our planet that is experiencing a massive dump of rubbish through out her lifetime.
Waste build-up is a major concern because it contributes to environmental degradation. It is of our responsibility as users of this planet that we contribute to advocacies supporting environmental health.
The following serves as tips for reducing waste provided by the site: http://www.york.gov.uk/environment/waste/reduction/_reduction.
-Buy goods with minimum packaging such as loose vegetables rather than pre-packed. --- -Buy in bulk to help save packaging, when it makes sense
-Try to buy refillable packs and concentrated products where you can
-Reuse carrier bags - take your own shopping bags to the supermarket or get a bag for life to use again and again.
-Recycle Yellow Pages - don't throw your old Yellow Pages away.
-Spectacles - donate your old glasses to people with poor eyesight in the Third World. ---- -Batteries - reduce the number of batteries you throw away by using the mains electricity supply where you can or using rechargeable batteries - rechargeable batteries may last 500 times longer than normal batteries!
-Avoid using disposable items such as tissues, paper and plastic plates and cutlery, dishcloths, cameras and serviettes. Glasses and plates for parties can be hired.
-Toys and games - reduce the amount of toys and games that you throw away by donating any good quality items.
- Avoid using cling film and aluminum foil to store food. Put it in reusable boxes with lids or reuse margarine and other containers.
-Don't throw goods away before the end of their useful life.
-Donate unwanted items to community groups.
Those are some simple yet effective ways on how to manage our waste products. Let’s stop the scheme of environmental degradation and alter our focus in rebuilding the planet.
