Global Garbage Pollution Crisis

Garbage pollution is a growing global problem. As populations increase, so does the amount of garbage produced, much of which takes a very long time to decompose, such as plastics that can take over 1000 years. Solid waste comes from daily activities and consumption, with plastics and cans making up 40% of waste in Bolivia. Bolivia lacks a culture of recycling, and garbage is often disposed of improperly in streets or open areas. Industrialization of garbage and better separation and recycling of materials like plastic bags could help address this problem, but more awareness and solutions are still needed to deal with the increasing pollution issue.

GARBAGE POLLUTION

At present, it is a problem worldwide, with the passage of time as the population quantit
y ceases, the amount of garbage also does, our current solid waste is increasingly polluti
ng for the environment, because it They are composed of materials that are very difficult
to decompose, such as the plastic that takes to decompose in 100 to 1000 years to decom
pose and the glass around 4000 years, the bags 150 years, among others. In general, we n
ever think, where all the garbage we produce is directed, in our homes, at work, etc. Nor
are we interested in the management through which it passes, until its decomposition, ho
wever, this lack of concern. It triggers in great consequences both environmental (polluti
on of water, atmosphere, soil and environmental risks) affecting our health.

1) Solid waste is all those materials generated from the activities of man in different com
panies and that these are consumed as products in their daily lives, such as paper, cardbo
ard, plastics of all kinds, cans, food scraps. The total amount of waste produced in our c
ountry by 40% represents plastics and cans.

2) Bolivia, does not have the culture of recycling, there is so little awareness about the is
sue of garbage that the waste is voted without any penalty on the street or where the citiz
en is. Although there are some solutions, regarding the issue, it is still not enough to be a
ble to deal with this growing problem, an alternative way is the industrialization of garba
ge. The excessive use of the bags and in plastic bases, the plastic bags are useful, comfor
table, practical, but they are also highly polluting for the environment if they are not sep
arated and recycled correctly.

Conclusión:

Garbage is a problem that includes us all, because our health and the care of the environ
ment is at stake. If it is not treated correctly it will have consequences in the near future.
