Activity 1: ENVIRONMENT

WASTE MANAGEMENT

II. Rationale
Waste management is an important tool for curbing climate change and for
keeping our environment clean and healthy. Methane generated from
biodegradable wastes is a powerful greenhouse gas, and when it's not captured
and used as a fuel it contributes to rapid warming of the atmosphere.
People’s relationship with the environment, particularly the ways that they deal
with wastes, had been studied even during the early times, when people had
learned about measures in waste management and in reusing certain important
raw materials.
III. Learning Objectives
General learning objectives
The goal of waste management will be to prevent or to reduce the impact of
waste materials on human health and social amenities.
Specific learning objectives
1. To Encourage everyone to be responsible enough in cleaning their surroundings.
2. To Change their beliefs and practices for the betterment of the people living in the
community.
3. To Practice 3Rs for the benefit of the people of the community for personal use.
4. To gain knowledge on proper disposal of animal/human wastes.

VIII. Let’s Reflect
Proper waste management presents an opportunity not only to avoid
the detrimental impacts associated with waste, but also to recover
resources, realise environmental, economic and social benefits and take a
step on the road to a sustainable future. The benefits ensue when waste is
treated as a resource, a resource that can be recovered and put to
productive and profitable use. Products can be reused and the materials
that make them up can be recovered and converted to other uses or
recycled. If waste is separated at source, the uncontaminated organic
fraction can be composted or digested anaerobically.
Many improvements in waste management deliver benefits
simultaneously across a multitude of fronts: requiring less investment,
delivering jobs and livelihoods, contributing to economic growth,
protecting public health and improving the environment. For example,
improving the operation of waste pickers in collecting and recycling useful
products and materials can lead to better economic outcomes for the waste
pickers themselves; to better quality organic waste that can be composted
and used to improve soils; and to less need for investment in landfill
facilities, as waste is diverted to more useful paths.
Improved waste management offers particular benefits to the socially
marginalised. The informal sector, which plays a vital role in many
developing economies, can be recognised, protected, professionalised
and integrated into the waste management system. This sector already
makes a significant contribution, which can be built upon to develop a low
cost, efficient and remarkably effective grass roots recovery, reuse and
recycling system.
