Clean Living Environment

Man’s survival entails a good clean living environment. However, how can we survive if the earth is full of waste materials? Life depends much on the planet that we live in.

It is a fact that the production of waste has been growing at an amount greater than the economic growth of a certain place. In developing countries, their population is rapidly increasing side by side with their economy. With this, there is also urbanization within their community that brings a high living standards. This further results to the generation of waste (Guerrero, L. A., Maas, G., & Hogland, W., 2013). These summed up to an unintended and negative impact on the environment with the great acceleration of waste.

As a matter of fact, researches on waste

It leads to the contamination of water system, destruction of soils, pollution of the air and many more, which in return affect man’s survival. Ejaz and Janjua (2012) in their study inferred that solid waste management affects different issues such as human health, economy and most of all the environment. They claimed that vector diseases in Pakistan are the effect of open dumps. Also, Liu and Wei (2012) mentioned in their study that Chinese people are exposed to the harmful impacts on human health due to improper handling and treatment of wastes related to electrical and

It implies that developing countries are critically under pressure to come up with an effective, functional and economical solid waste management systems (Ejaz, N., and Janjua, N. S., 2012). It is a harsh reality that the different cities and provinces down to the smallest unit of the country contributed to the garbage situation in the country. Hence, solid waste management is a challenge and responsibility of the city leaders (Guerrero, L. A., Maas, G., & Hogland, W., 2013), especially that there is great need on the implementation of such activity. However, this must not be the sole responsibility of government officials, rather every citizen must contribute in the degeneration of waste materials.

The aforementioned scenarios then strengthen the need to conduct researches on environmental issues related to waste materials.

With the dangers posed by the generation of waste, several waste management are being introduced. Waste management refers to the control of generation, storage, collection, transfer, processing and disposal of solid waste materials in a way that best addresses the range of public health, conservation, economics, aesthetic, engineering and other environmental considerations (LeBlanc, R.,
