Question
How pollution by domestic garbage can be controlled?
✓
Answer
- Everybody should learn to segregate garbage at source. The wet i.e. biodegradable and dry i.e. non-biodegradable materials should be separated, instead of throwing them callously in trash.
- Non-biodegradable material can be recycled or reused. It should be disposed off in proper way.
- Biodegradable material should be composted at home by simple methods of vermicomposting.
- Every household should practise these methods which will reduce the volume of garbage that is sent out to land filling or burning.
- The excessive load on Municipalities can also be reduced if each one takes the responsibility of his or her own garbage.
- Larger establishments like offices, schools or industries should provide space for solid waste and other garbage management.
