Reduce growing menace of household waste

摘要

Huge quantity of garbage takes up precious land which can otherwise be used for agriculture and other productive purposes. With a little sensitivity, sensibility, thought and effort, we can help solve the ever growing menace of household waste. In India, on an average, each person in urban area produces half a kilogram of garbage each day. The percentage of Indians living in urban areas is ten percent of the total population. This amounts to more than 20 million tons of garbage each year in cities alone. This huge quantity of garbage takes up precious land which can otherwise be used for agriculture and other productive purposes.
