Question

List all the wastes that you generate, at home, school or during your trips to other places, which you could easily reduce?

Which would be difficult or rather impossible to reduce?

Answer 1

• At home – Kitchen wastes, food-left overs, old torn clothes, papers, carry bags, cotton, broken articles (glass, crockery), leather, plastic, cans etc.,
• At school – Pencil, pencil peels, rubbers, pens, chalk, paper, food, grit etc.,
• At trips – Food, carry bags, food wrappers, water bottles, cups, spoons, plate, ** and urination in open air.
• Wastes which can be reduced – Biodegradable wastes e.g. papers, rags, food, leather articles, others which are recyclable ones in house or locality itself.
• Which cannot be reduced – Glass, tin, metals, plastics, polythene. They are recycled and reused. Also as land fills. So non biodegradable are to be sold to rag pickers.
