Improper Waste Disposal in Every Household in Barangay Kumintang Ilaya, Batangas City

The Issue

People are suffering environmental dilemmas such as global warming, flash floods, and etc. and the causes of these problem is the misbehavior of the people towards waste management. Some people are careless to the environment by just  in throwing their garbage everywhere they want. They do not think of the possible results of their actions on the environmental as especially on health. The soil, water, and air pollution can all be a result of improper waste disposal. Examples of improper waste disposal includes littering, hazardous waste that is dumped into the ground,and not recycling items that should be recycled. Disposing of waste has huge environmental impacts and can cause serious problems. Proper garbage disposal is important to ensure everyone's safety from possible health hazards. People will suffer in the next years of existence if we continue this kind of activity. There are causes and effects of improper waste disposal.

Some causes of improper waste disposal are:

  • People are unaware  of consequences of their irresponsible acts.
  • People are not following the correct rules of proper waste disposal. People throw the garbage in what place they want and they have no care what will be the effect of it.
  • People are burning plastic instead of keeping it and recyclable it.

The effects of improper waste disposal are:

  • The soil contamination does not only affect plant growth, it is also unhealthy to humans and animals feeding on those plants.
  • The skin irritation and blood infections resulting from direct contact with waste,and transmitting bacteria from waste to infected wounds.
  • Waste that releases dioxins are also dangerous and pose a health risk when they diffuse into the air that we breathe. 

How to solve/avoid the improper waste disposal?

  • RECYCLING
