What to Focus On

  • Waste is unwanted material that we throw away.
  • It comes from homes, schools, hospitals, and other places.
  • Improper waste disposal causes pollution and health problems.

  • Biodegradable waste breaks down naturally in soil.
  • Examples: fruit peels, vegetables, paper, cloth.
  • Non-biodegradable waste does not break down easily.

  • Use covered dustbins at home.
  • Segregate waste into biodegradable and non-biodegradable.
  • Green bins are for biodegradable waste.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All waste can be thrown in the same bin because the garbage truck will take care of everything.

Plastic is biodegradable because it comes from oil, which is natural.

Recycling is the most important R, so we don’t need to reduce or reuse.
