Nowadays, garbage is one of the very common but a serious issue today. It can be seen everywhere like in roads, rivers, or drainage. People are not discipline, they are not practicing the proper waste disposal or segregation. One of the causes of these problem is the misbehaviour of the people towards waste management. Mostly people are reckless in throwing their garbage, they don’t think of the possible results of their actions on the environment as well as health.
In Barangay Apale, the improper waste disposal is one of the common issue that the barangay is facing. Most of the people in this barangay is not discipline on how is the proper waste disposal or segregation of their own waste or trashes. The poor waste disposal activities that is happening in barangay Apale causing a big trouble on the people that lives in that barangay. And I think that the causes of this problem are these followings:
●LAZINESS: Laziness can cause improper waste disposal because people are not following the correct and rules of proper waste disposal they always throw it in what place they want and they have no care what are the effects of their action.
●GREED: Greed can also be the causes of this certain problem which is the improper waste disposal for example; burning tires of wheel or plastics instead of keeping it or reuse it like the tires they can use it as decoration on their garden.
●IGNORANCE: Ignorance of the people about the proper waste disposal. They are not aware of the consequences of their unwise act.
So our respect to the beloved barangay captain of Apale, we suggest that we should implement a garbage tin in every streets and make an MRF (Materials Recovery Facilities). We should teach the people the proper waste disposal on having at least one day seminar or open up this problem to the people so that they are aware on what will be the consequences of their actions. We can also teach the people the 3 R’S: the REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE. Also we suggest that we should have clean up drive at least once a week because it can help the people to practice on how the should protect and value their environment for it can have a good impact to their oneself.
The following are some of the good impacts if we implement the ideas suggest:
●Proper waste removal helps improve air and water quality as well as reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
●It helps the community to be an eco-friendly.
●Reduce pollution in the environment as well as ensure the safety and well-being of the people and all other living beings.
●People can not be easily get disease because the environment is clean and harmless.
