A place to share all your Environmental Gists and Issues. Adding our voice to better the lots of our future environments.
Give a thought to what it would look like if we do not generate waste at all. That's definitely not possible, but we can do much more to reduce our waste generation by considering use of recyclable items at every spheres of life.
Environmental Impact Assessment of every phase of development is as important as the project in progress.

WHERE DO YOUR WASTES GO?
Take a trip to Gosa Dump Site: If you care to answer the question above.
But I must say here that this is what it takes to become An Environmentalist. The stenched odour perceived when a waste disposal truck passes by or packed on the road is nothing compared to what it is around the dump site.
Within five to ten minutes of staying there, ones body provides resistance to how irritating it is, hence the automatic adjustment of our system to that environment and could no longer perceive the foul odour. Little wonder why the scavengers that live on such sites seems to look happy doing what they do and having the best of their life. (SCAVENGERS ARE MILLIONAIRES ... Topic for another day)
This discussion is to open us to having at the back of our mind how urgent we should all address the issue of Municipal Waste Management and how important it is to possibly reduce the rate at which we generate wastes by using recyclable products.
So Reduce! Re-use! And Recycle!
