Waste Matters

‘Refuse what you do not need; reduce what you do need; reuse what you consume; recycle what you cannot refuse, reduce, or reuse; and rot (compost)
the rest.’

Waste is an issue which we need to be of great concern from ecological, social, cultural, economical and political point of view. Though this issue is taken very lightly but has a great implications on environment and health in the coming years. It is right time, considering COVID type of pandemic that we focus on the waste issue especially on municipal solid waste. We all talk and are concern about this matter but somewhere we are hesitant to act on this issue at individual capacity. No matter there are several regulations, laws, institutions, organization working on this matter, the onus lies on individuals to contribute in mitigating this problems even in a minuscule way. Yet times general public would know the waste related issues and concerns.

Hence, an effort is made to bring out this featured edition of Parisara Vahini “WASTE MATTERS”. Efforts are made to communicate all the dimensions of waste related issues highlighting the efforts of the board, institutions and NGOs.
