Community Health Problems

Community health problems are common nowadays with the rise in modern technology;
people neglect the importance of the basic needs for safety. A safe environment will ensure
quality of life that will lead to more productive citizens of the country. This lesson will help you
understand that one environment is threatened by human activities that affect the health of the
people and the communities.
ENDLESS COMMUNITY HEALTH PROBLEMS
The government has created an office that would oversee the planning and implementing
rules and regulations to address the above-mentioned community health problems. One of its
programs is the Solid Waste Management Program that helps lessen the amount of refuse in our
country. Let’s take a deeper look at its focus of concern.
Refuse Materials are the dump, food waste, or discarded materials. There are many ways
to do Solid Waste Management. A highly recommended formula is to adopt the 3Rs of Ecological
Waste Management: REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE According to RA No. 9003, there are
many ways to do Solid Waste Management.A highly recommended formula is to adopt the 3Rs of
Ecological Waste Management: REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE. In addition, let us refrain
from doing what has been prohibited under the law.
These include:
⦁ littering, throwing, dumping of waste materials in public places like roads, sidewalks, canals,
esteros, parks and establishments;
⦁ open burning of solid waste;
⦁ allowing the collection of non-segregated or unsorted waste;
⦁ squatting in open dumps and landfills;
⦁ open dumping or burying of biodegradable and nonbiodegradable materials in flood-prone
areas;
⦁ unauthorized removal of recyclable materials intended for collection by authorized persons;
⦁ mixing of source-separated recyclable materials with other solid wastes in any vehicle, box,
container or receptacle used in solid waste collection or disposal;
⦁ manufacture, distribution or use of non-environmentally acceptable packaging materials;
⦁ establishment or operation of open dumps; and importation of consumer products packaged
in non-environmentally acceptable materials.
