Waste Management

Trash is the tragedy of human life on this planet. The day we control it in a managed methodology, will be the day we can call ourselves an important part of mother nature. Trash can travel across the globe through our oceans and rivers. They keep accumulating in these water bodies while polluting the water that kills the most beautiful aquatic life on this globe. Accruing on the beaches, this debris creates chemical pollutants that threaten the lives of flora and fauna. This is even affecting the economic structures worldwide.
Just like how a human body is 70% water, the same way is our planet with 70% water around us. The water bodies maintain the health of the inhabitants but unfortunately, it is now polluted by human waste. According to a recent survey by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, billions of tonnes of trash and other pollutants are thrown in our oceans.
The impact of Marine pollution is huge on us and the generations to come. It is a combination of trash and chemicals – mostly entering the oceans from lands. Let us take a closer look at the sources of these pollutants.

Plastics ...
... have a direct deadly impact on our marine wildlife. Animals like seals, sea turtles, and seabirds, etc are being killed each year. They either choke on these plastics or get entangled in them. Many endangered wildlife are also on the verge of extinction due to plastic litter.
