The Problem

Introduction

Nowadays, we are suffering environmental dilemmas such as global warming, flash floods and etc.One of
the causes of these problems is the misbehavior of the people towards waste management. Some people
are reckless in throwing their garbage. They do not think of the possible results of their actions on the
environment as well as on health.

Waste management practices can differ for developed and developing nations, for urban and rural areas,
and for residential and industrial producers. Management of non-hazardous waste residential and
institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually is the responsibility of local government authorities,
while management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is the responsibility of the
generator subject to local, national or international controls.

Most of us can claim to have read up on waste management processes. However, it should come as no
surprise that despite our best efforts, the damage has continued, only at a different rate. We have come a
long way in efficiently dealing with waste, yet several key problems continue to merge and injure the
planet at large.
Negative effects of improper waste management not only ends in a disgusting view but also affects the
overall economy of a country. State has to spend a lot of money to counter the effects of improper waste
management. Moreover, animals depended on the environment also face a great threat due to the oil spills
and leaching of chemicals which directly cause soil and water contamination. Burning of any disposed
waste and plastic materials results in air and environmental pollution.

According to the study of Flore,R.M, This problems could harm not only the residents but also the
environment itself. The knowledge of the residents about their current situation is based on their own
experiences. Although they were able to give advice to people that might experience the same situation by
segregating their waste properly but since they don’t have enough funds to support garbage truck
collection they resulted to the incinerating of their garbage.
