Question
Explain how reusing waste can reduce the burden of waste disposal.
Answer in Brief
Solution
-
Reusing waste can help solve waste disposal issues. By recovering and recycling objects discarded by persons who no longer find them useful, we reduce trash generation and contribute to community betterment and citizens' material well-being.
- Reusing objects ensures they remain valuable, helpful, and productive.
- This approach reduces the need for new things during manufacturing, which would otherwise consume limited resources such as water, electricity, lumber, and petroleum.
- Instead of discarding old or broken shoes, consider redistributing them to those in need, which will increase their useful life.
- By embracing reuse, we may reduce trash generation, lessen the pressure on waste disposal systems, and promote a more sustainable and resource-efficient consumption attitude.
