Why should waste not be burned?

Often, we observe people grappling with the dilemma of how to dispose of waste generated during household activities or ongoing projects. Similarly, there seems to be a general lack of awareness regarding the appropriate handling of garden waste, such as fallen leaves accumulating in or around garden premises. Consequently, many resort to burning such waste. The act of burning waste has emerged as a significant issue, particularly in urban areas. Faced with the staggering daily influx of waste and a dearth of knowledge regarding proper disposal methods, individuals often opt for the quickest solution: incineration. However, amidst a global climate crisis, one of the simplest yet most impactful steps individuals can take to aid the environment is the proper management of waste. Segregating waste into its various categories—wet, dry, or otherwise—facilitates its processing and recycling, thereby transforming it into reusable materials. However, this necessitates the implem...

कचरा का जाळू नये ?

अनेक वेळा आपण असे बघतो की घरी काही ना काही तरी काम चालू असते त्यातून काही प्रकारचा कचरा निर्माण होत असतो किंवा इमारतीच्या परिसरात असलेल्या झाडांचा पालापाचोळा त्याची विल्हेवाट कशी लावायची हे नागरिकांना माहीत नसते आणि एकंदरच जागरूकतेचा अभाव असल्यामुळे जमा झालेला कचरा हा  नागरिकांकडून जाळला जातो. कचऱ्याची योग्य, शास्त्रशुद्ध विल्हेवाट कशी लावायची हा खूप महत्वाचा विषय आहे.जेव्हा कचरा हा चांगल्या प्रकारे आदर्श पद्धतीने विलगीकरण केला जातो ओला, सुका  किंवा त्याच्या विविध स्वरूपाबाबत त्यावेळी त्यावर काही ना काही प्रक्रिया करता येते आणि त्याचे काही ना काही तरी दुसऱ्या पदार्थामध्ये रूपांतर करून त्याचा पुनर्वापर करता येऊ शकतो. हे सगळे करण्यासाठी यंत्रणेची गरज असते. ज्या ठिकाणी यंत्रणा उपलब्ध नसते अशा ठिकाणी किंवा जिथे लोकांमध्ये जागरूकता नाही ,अशा ठिकाणी कचऱ्याची विल्हेवाट लावण्याची लोकांनीच शोधून काढलेली सगळ्यात सोपी आणि हानिकारक पद्धत म्हणजे कचरा जाळून टाकणे.  कचरा जाळला म्हणजे आपल्या नजरेआड जातो आणि त्याच्या नंतर त्या कचऱ्याचे काही करावे लागत नाही, अशा विचारातून नाग...
