SPEECH ON WASTE MANAGEMENT

Joey Marthyna B. Baldoza

8-SOC2

Hello everyone! Welcome.

The topic given to me for today’s assembly is ‘Waste Management’. We
as people are necessarily aware and cautious about this topic.
This term means the management of the waste. So, what exactly does
waste mean?  As our teacher has always taught us that waste means
something that is eliminated or discarded as no longer useful or required
after a stage. It is something useless, worthless.
We as people should understand that everything that is called waste,
involves some cost and effort of somebody or the other. We should
minimize or further aim at completely eliminating the waste from our
lives. Waste is both a consequence and a symptom of lives lived or
things used unwisely.
Waste management is the science that deals with prevention and
monitoring of wastes. Though it is a science, but its not a difficult one.
We do not need rocket science for this. It is as simple as monitoring our
activities and actions so that we ultimately release the least amount of
waste.
Collection of waste and disposal of trash plays an extremely important
role in the global cleanliness and sustainability drive. The most crucial
thing is this accompanied with people’s health and the conservation of
resources being the responsibility of every government. Our government
has created many garbage dumps that clearly indicate solid waste in
separate box and other waste in separate box. This is deliberately done
so as to make it easy for companies or governments to get this waste
recycled and ready for next use in some other form.
In earlier generations during our great grandparent’s times, people used
to dump their waste by digging a hole on the ground. At that point of
time, this was considered the best as this could easily be decomposed
and act as fertilizer of some sort. But for our generation or the coming
one, this option is not at all posible. This is because, the population
earlier was less and hence waste creation was less, also due to harsh
chemicals and varied artificial products today; it is not at all easy for the
waste to be decomposed.
Keeping in mind the healthy pollution free air and overall environment;
we should focus on managing our waste and even monitor the activities
of others so that we ensure less creation of waste.
To conclude my point of discussion; I would just request you all, please
watch your actions very closely and ensure the minimal wastage. We
should educate ourselves and the public on the importance of conserving
the environment by managing solid wastes. We all have the
responsibility to make people learn the impacts which one can avail as
benefits through managing wastes. Please spread the message and help
save our environment. Let’s aim at complete elimination or the right
management of waste all around.
Thank you.
