Garbage

Garbage is unwanted material after the end of a process.

Garbage is defined by human based on the degrees of the use.
In natural processes actually, there is no concept of garbage,
there are only products produced after and during the process
was held. Because in human life there is a definition of
environment concept, garbage can be divided based on its
types.

The location of waste management which is inadequate and

uncontrolled is a suitable place for some organisms and
attractive to various animals like flies and dogs which can
cause disease.

The potential danger of health that can inflict by garbage are

as follows: cholera, and typhus that spread rapidly because of
the virus that derived from improper waste management can
be mingled with drinking water, a disease of dengue fever that
can also increase rapidly in regions with less adequate
management of garbage, a fungus disease, a disease that can
spread through the food chain. An example is a disease by the
tapeworm. A report says that in Japan about 40,000 people
died due to consuming fish that has been contaminated by
mercury. Mercury is derived from garbage dumped into the sea
by the factory that produces a battery and accumulator.

Seepage liquid waste that goes into the river will pollute water
or drainage. A variety of organisms including fish can die so
that some species will disappear, this causes a changing of
biological water ecosystem. The decomposition of garbage
dumped into the water will produce an organic acid and gas-
liquid organic, such as methane. Besides the smelling is bad,
the gas can explode in a high concentration.

Waste management, that is detrimental, can form an

uncomfortable environment for the people, unpleasant and bad
smell because the garbage scattered everywhere. It gives
negative impact on tourism. Inadequate waste management
causes low level of public health. The important thing here is
increasing indirect fund to treat people in the hospital.

Solid waste disposal to the main water can cause flood and for
will give the impact to the facilities and public services such
as roads, the bridge, drainage, and others. Other
infrastructures can also be affected by inadequate waste
management, as high as the cost to water conservation.
People also tend to throw garbage on the road. This case
causes the road is needed often cleaning and repairing.

To handle and solve this problem, I think it is not only the

government’s responsibility but also the community’s. We must
also participate in helping government. How to do it? It is
easy! Just fix first the ethics of disposing the garbage in the
right way and place. Train ourselves to dispose the waste in
the right place. It is easy to say, but it feels difficult to do.
Everything should be based on with the inner intention. Then,
what should we do with the garbage or waste? Maybe we can
try the se following ideas such as: reuse it as the craft, recycle
it and use it as the basic building material.
