Waste Major Problem

by | 25-10-2015 00:31




Bhutan being developing country, it's very difficult to understand the importance of waste by the village people. Firstly,  people don't know what really the climate change is, secondly they don't know the impacts of climate change and thirdly they don't know the causes of climate change.
So, I took a small survey in my village on waste being produced by each household to create awareness on climate change and causes of climate. The name of my village is Pangthang Daza (meaning small dry land) with 30 households located in eastern part of Bhutan. Every month from each household, they produce about a 5 to 10 kg of wastes. Many of villagers simply burns their wastes and some just throw away in the pets which affect the lands. While some people do know little about the consequences of burning wastes, but they do not have other option as there is no facility like that of town. I simply explain them about the importance of waste and that the possible solution is to decrease our packaging items. I also mention them about taking care of our own waste.
