Why We must Segregate our Wastes?

Proper Waste Segregation is the main problem of our country nowadays. Due to increase in population and industrialization, the number of wastes produced by our country is increasing day by day.  Some Filipinos neglect the importance of the Proper Waste Segregation. Even so, they don’t know that their actions have a huge impact in our environment. (GOVPH, 2001). There must be rules and regulations implemented to reduce the amount of waste produced by our country and recycle the things that we can still benefit from.

Proper Waste Segregation is important especially that it saves the environment from the toxic effects of inorganic and biodegradable wastes. It also makes our community’s health better (Downs & Acevedo, 2019). However, if we continue to ignore this kind of problem in our environment, we may encounter different toxic chemicals that can harm us such as air pollution, water contamination, and soil erosion. These consequences can also affect us because we tend to have diseases that are dangerous to our health. Therefore, we must help and take responsibility so that we can maintain the safety and cleanliness of our environment.

Furthermore, segregation educates and raises awareness about responsible consumption and waste generation. It encourages individuals to be mindful of their consumption patterns and compels them to consider the environmental impact of their choices. (Ann, 2023)

To sum it up, the order of our environment is in our hands. The simple things we do are always connected to the place we live. So, by joining organizations and cleaning up our surroundings, we can contribute to improve the quality of our natural environment. (Earth5R, 2023). Let’s keep in our mind that, participation is the key to accomplish our goal. Make our environment a healthier, better place to live in and save our natural resources for our future generations.
