The waste is not a waste until it is wasted. In this technological era of 21^st Century, no waste should land in the landfill. All MUST be recycled. This is my dream! I am doing my bit of efforts since the past many years in the service to the mother earth. The household waste, Industrial waste, other waste all have the potential of recycling. This is a matter of willpower of the nation & its residents.

At a typical landfill, the waste rots and decomposes, and produces harmful gases (CO2 and Methane) which are both greenhouse gases and contribute to global warming. Landfills also pollute the local environment, including the water and the soil. It also affects the global warming and the environment.

Rules & regulations may be made but its implementation is complex and a lot is dependent upon the residents and the lawmakers. I believe stiff penalties must be imposed by authorities for breaking the waste collection procedure. And as a parallel initiative awareness must be spread among all to implement this procedure.

Segregation bins are existing in all major cities in the world but indiscriminate disposal is a big issue. Some countries have collected all recyclables in one bin [Paper, Plastic, Cans etc. together] and have tried to recycle this mixed chunk. But this experiment has failed miserably and such waste has again landed at the landfills.

I am listing very easy ways of reducing landfill waste. These measures may be applied by us individually without depending upon Government to implement legislation.

1.      1. Donate Clothes.

2.       2. Reduce Food Waste.

3.       3. Eat Healthy.

4.       4. Save Leftovers for Next Day.

5.       5. Buy Things With Less Packaging.

6.       6. Boycott Plastic Water Bottles.

7.       7. Just Don't Buy as Much Stuff. Really.

8.       8. Recycle.
