Clean And Green Earth

 Hello Friends,

Welcome Back,

Today I am going to share some steps of keeping out earth green and pollution free. Today we all are concerned with our earth's bad condition which is going worst and more worst as the time is progressing. Today we all are listening about the global warming and the various effects of global warming on our lives.

In this article I am going to discuss about various pollutants which is making our earth's condition bad. One of the primary pollutant is solid waste.

Solid wastes are organic and inorganic waste  material such as product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, kitchen  refuse, paper, appliances, paint cans, batteries, etc. produced in a society, which according to individual perceptions does not have any value.

Now the question arises how we can get rid of solid waste. 

There are several steps to having an effective

waste management strategy. This includes:

1. Source reduction is one of the fundamental ways to reduce waste. This can be done by using less material when making a product, reuse of products on site, designing products or packaging to reduce their quantity. On an individual level we can reduce the use of unnecessary items while shopping, buy items with minimal packaging,  avoid buying disposable items and also avoid asking for plastic carry bags.

2. Recycling is reusing some components of the waste that may have some economic value. Recycling has several  benefits such as conservation of resources, reduction in energy used during manufacture and pollution levels. Some materials such as aluminum and steel can be recycled many times. Metal, paper, glass and plastics are recyclable. Mining of new aluminum is expensive and hence recycled aluminum has a strong market and plays a significant role in the aluminum industry.

 Paper recycling can also help preserve forests as it takes about 17 trees to make one ton of paper. Crushed glass (cullet) reduces the energy required to manufacture new glass by 50 percent.

3.  Disposal of solid waste is done most commonly through a sanitary landfill or through incineration or vermicomposting.

4.  Landfills A modern sanitary landfill is a depression in an impermeable soil layer that is lined with an impermeable membrane. In a municipal sanitary landfill, the solid waste is placed in a suitably selected and prepared landfill site in a carefully prescribed manner, the  waste material is spread out and compacted with appropriate heavy machinery and then the waste is covered each day with a layer of compacted soil.

5.  Vermicomposting Nature has perfect solutions for managing the waste it creates, if left undisturbed and produced within limits. The biogeochemical cycles are designed to clear the waste material produced by animals and plants. We can mimic the same methods that are present in nature. In nature, all dead and dry leaves and twigs decompose and are broken down by organisms such as worms and insects, and is finally broken down by bacteria and fungi, to form a dark rich soil-like material called compost. These organisms in the soil use the organic material as food, which provides them with nutrients for their growth and activities. These nutrients are returned to the soil to be used again by trees and other plants. This process recycles

nutrients in nature.

So you can help a bit towards keeping our Earth clean and green by following some of these steps. Its the combined efforts of all of us which can save our earth. After all earth is our home and to keep our home clean is our fundamental duty.

So my dear friends go ahead and try your best to save our earth. Every small step counts. For filling the sea every small drop is essential. All rivers and streams combine together to fill the sea.

Thank you.

See you in next post.
