Segregation of Recyclable Materials |
|---|
|
People usually dump all the accumulated garbage waste generated in their household in the common waste bins. But do we have any idea as to where all this waste is going? It is necessary that we adopt a policy of segregating waste to maintain the ecological balance in our ecosystem and to substantiate the welfare of our future generations. I took the initiative of placing waste segregation cartons outside the garbage chute on various floors of my building with a simple message: ?Do your part to save Mother Earth. Conserve the resources for the future generations by reducing, reusing and recycling.? I promote the collection of paper, glass, toners, plastic, mobile phones, beverage cartons, aluminum cans and batteries. This action has made people more aware of the importance of segregating waste. Now instead of throwing the recyclable items in the general waste bin they are putting them in these cartons. I get immense satisfaction to note that all this material will be recycled instead of ending up at some landfill. After a certain amount of waste is accumulated, I then deposit these recyclable materials at the offices of leading environmental waste management companies including the Dubai-based Emirates Environmental Group (EEG) and Sharjah-based Bee?ah. The environment has been and will always be the most crucial gift that mankind has been blessed with. It is the cardinal and fundamental resource required to sustain life. Therefore we should make it an obligation to preserve and protect this life sustaining resource from depletion. Awareness campaigns have a positive impact on the lifestyle of an individual and play a crucial role in diverting the amount of waste headed to landfills. Recycling saves energy and helps in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions. The residents in my community are now getting accustomed with the practice of waste segregation and are adopting this policy in their daily lives. I believe that waste management companies should formulate an alternative solution to this predicament by imposing fines on those who produce more waste and don?t segregate. It should be made mandatory to not accept mixed waste. I have noticed that colour-coded waste bins have been installed in majority of the residential areas and even in big buildings to make the segregation effortless. Dear fellow readers please adopt this policy of segregation to lead a green lifestyle and play your part to bring change towards a sustainable and green future.

Good initiative, Mohit. I had started and set up the same last year in August in my building and it has been running successfully. We have been able to collect 7000 kg paper by this waste segregation set up in our building. You are not only protecting the environment yourself but also inculcating the good habit in your building mates.

Great Job Mohit! If we do segregation in our building itself it will save so much of time and energy and it will be easy to do recycling.
