Challenges, Solutions and World Waste Problems
There are many challenges the world is currently facing due to the indiscriminate disposal of public, industrial and all other sort of waste in public places.
Global warming is one of the global challenges. It is a threat to our ecosystem. The waste we refuse to dispose properly come back one way or the other to haunt is.
A banana peel left on the floor can later cause us or someone else to trip. In the best case, it may end up with pains or lest severe injuries but in really worst cases it could even lead to a bone fracture. We should learn to dispose our waste properly for ourselves and the people around us.
What do you think when you see someone throwing rubbish carelessly? and, in your country what is the form of punishment for people who deliberately throw rubbish carelessly? |

In Nigeria, my country, there are many cases of improperly disposed waste products polluting the environment. Ranging from substance pollution, to air pollution and even to noise pollution. Like yesterday, I barely had enough sleep because of a hectic case of noise pollution.
Personally, I do not advocate careless disposal of waste in inappropriate places but down here it's more of a common sight. A person can be done with a snack and find it convenient to dispose the snack pack just there on the ground.
Most people are completely comfortable with this but right from my secondary school days until today I still can't do this comfortably. I would rather drop my empty sachets and snack packs back in my bag to dispose them later on when I get home.
I have not experienced any sort of punishments for irregular dumping of waste outside an organised environment (like a secondary school) but I have heard of such in more well developed places like Calabar and Lagos. If you dispose waste indiscriminately in broad daylight you can be apprehended by other road users or passers-by.
At your place, is waste used to increase income? What are the benefits of waste that can make money there? |
|---|
I believe in as much as waste disposed improperly can be hazardous to health and also the environment, there are also ways to manage this to produce good turnouts.
Recycling: Most of this waste products disposed can be re-used or recycled into useful products. Like iron and other useful metals are good products for recycling. A group of people popular known as "iron condemn" make good profit from this in my country.
Waste Disposal: It provides employment opportunities for people whose profession includes the disposal of waste. Like in the hostel as well as other places, waste are disposed temporarily in bins that are later taken out for proper disposal or incremation.
Penalty Administration: Also this can serve as a means of earning income for individuals responsible for administrating penalties to offenders.
In your opinion, how do you manage household waste properly so that it does not have a bad impact on the environment? |
|---|
Disposal of waste generally is necessary and relevant to ensure good health and clean environment.
Bins and other structures for the disposal of temporary waste should be put in place to encourage and foster waste disposal.
Encouraging the little ones to partake in environmental sanitation and strongly discouraging indiscriminate disposal of waste at inappropriate places.
Recycling of re-usable waste products or returning them back to the facto.
Incremation is also a good way of handling them but it should be done in places far from living things.
Lastly, setting and administrating due punishments to offenders.
Will the accumulation of large amounts of waste affect the comfort of people in your neighboring country? How did that happen? share your opinion |
|---|
Accumulation of large amount of waste can lead to air pollution especially if situated in residential areas. It could pollute the air making living unpleasant in such areas.
It can also occupy reasonable amounts of land that should either be used as passage of for useful construction.
It is also an irritating site for the eyes and it is extremely unhealthy. People should be encouraged to dispose their waste properly and also be educated on the disadvantages and health challenges associated with dirty environment.

Yeah, you are right, my friend. When someone throws banana peel on the floor and another stepped on it, it put his or her life in danger, which is very dangerous to our health.
Throwing unnecessary rubbish on the floor is very dangerous to our health because there are many harmful substance in those things that we throw anyhow on the floor just imagine someone burning a waste bin close to his house it will cost air pollution to the society and is very dangerous our health.
These days have seen people making money out of waste products nothing is a waste in this country now because sometimes they condemn iron no longer value are used to create new metal which we useful and at the end it provides employment for Youth and also increase income for The Society.

You are welcome 😊 my dear, the pleasure is all mine
Waste problem is one of the problems in today's world. We see around us almost constantly various thunderbolts thrown around by people who say that you have never faced punishment. In my opinion it is right that if you throw waste anywhere it can definitely be intercepted by road users and pedestrians. Garbage around our house needs to be cleaned very well and it needs to be taken care of properly. Then our surroundings and environment will be beautiful. Anyway very nice write up, best of luck to you.
Thank you for engaging friend. Very much appreciated.
That's true friends, throwing rubbish carelessly can harm the environment such as land, water and can pollute the air so that the community is uncomfortable with the smell, and rubbish can cause big problems if it is not immediately followed, it can cause bad smells and cause a source of disease, it can harm the surrounding community. .
I see that there are really encouraging cleanliness, you don't throw rubbish carelessly if you don't find a rubbish bin, you are willing to keep rubbish in a bag to throw rubbish in the rubbish bin when you are at home, I salute you for taking care of the environment, I am very interested in reading your post .
Thank you for engaging friend and for dropping this nice comment. Very much appreciated.
You're welcome brothers, I hope you are always healthy
I like your attitude, where you keep your rubbish in a bag and when you get home, you throw it in the rubbish bin that has been provided. Thank you for sharing such a glorious experience with all of us. Hopefully it is useful for all of us.
Hopefully indeed. Thank you for engaging friend. This has been a truly knowledgeable contest.
You have relae this topic little bit with global warming and I agree with you that global warming is increasing day by day and there could be also a factor of poor drainage of waste and improper disposal of waste so there should be techniques that we should keep in mind that how and which ways are legal to throw waste and which are not I wish you success
