It is stated that Karachi is the most polluted country, due to urbanization and populous aspect. Pakistan generates about 48.5 million tons of solid waste a year, which has been increasing more than 2 percent annually. Like other developing countries, Pakistan lacks waste management infrastructure, creating serious environmental problems. That is the reason, by every passing day, there is a thought of eco-waste increase and the stress is causing different issues not only on National level but also on individual level.

    There is a dire need to take steps for the awareness of pollution and how to reduce impacts of waste on the globe.

• Control Pollution – To control diverse types of pollution, i.e., water pollution, air pollution, and soil pollution.
• Conserve Natural Resources – Waste disposal is vital for the conservation of all our environmental resources, i.e. forest, minerals water etc.
• Control Spread of Diseases – To control the rapid spread of infectious ailments.
• Recycle For Further Use – Recycle hazardous wastes for more production.

           Irrespective of digitization and more resources of awareness, due to increasing pollution and reduced eco-waste strategies implementation, secondary diseases are rising rapidly. E-waste causing hazardous chemicals generation, air pollution causing asthma related diseases, land pollution causing detrimental impacts in the soil, resulting in erosion and water pollution making the water shortage for communities are biggest examples. 

          The thought of the day is How to reduce eco-waste for healthy lives?

    The simplest answer to this is - 3Rs

   From early childhood, we were being taught to reduce, reuse and recycle. As we grew, we abandoned the concept and forgot the teachings. After decades, it became crystal clear that unless we won't adopt this strategy, the surveillance would be impossible. Due to our inhumane impacts, our universe is suffering alot and we need to convert our waste into eco-friendly waste. 

• By reusing our own appliances & products, we can reduce eco-waste to maximum. If less waste is generated, the process of disposing it becomes a lot easier. Consider recycling and reusing items like, wood, metals and glass in your construction.
• By recycling items like plastic, we can actually bring the ideology of long-term sustainability in our living. always ensure to separate the non-recyclable waste from the recyclable ones.
• By reducing the usage of our products like using less paper to save ecosystem, less consumption of wood, we can actually reduce the burden of waste from our eco-system.
