Domestic waste refers to the waste which is generated in our houses due to our daily activities. Domestic waste can be either biodegradable or non biodegradable for example, vegetable and fruit peels are biodegradable whereas batteries, computers, etc are non-biodegradable. biodegardable products can be used for making composts which can be used in parks, plant pots etc. For non-biodegradable products, we need to practice the 3R's, and only after that, they should be discarded as waste. The 3R's are -

1. Reduce- Reduce the amount of waste produced.

2. Reuse- Reusing a resource in a new way before throwing it.

3. Recycle- Making something new from a material rather than throwing it away.

Why is it necessary to ban the use of plastic bags?
Plastic bags are non biodegradable products which pose a serious threat to the environment. Non biodegradable products do not decompose easily and thus keep on accumulating in the environment. There are various other reasons for which plastic bags should be banned.
For example:
Plastic bags, on getting into drains and sewer system, choke them up resulting in spilling of dirty water on the roads

Burning of plastic bags produces harmful gases, which can cause health problems

Street animals may consume these plastic bags, which may even result in their deaths.

What precautions are necessary for proper decomposition of domestic waste?

Ans: The waste that is produced in the houses due to daily activities is known as domestic waste. Precautions for proper decomposition of domestic waste are a must. Waste collection, segregation, transportation, and recycling should be completed minutely so that no toxic wastes are produced from the materials. Waste material can be reduced, reused, and recycled. By proper decomposition of waste material, we help a lot to the environment. So, one should try to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste or decompose waste material properly.

2) Non biodegradable waste like plastic,thermocol,etc. should be separated since it contains hazardous chemicals that can kill the useful microbes and hamper the process of decomposition.
3) Optimum moisture content should be maintained in the garbage pile in order to ensure faster decomposition of waste .
4) Aeration by mixing should be performed to provide sufficient oxygen for aerobic microbes in the garbage pile and prevent generation of foul odours.

The domestic waste should be properly segregated into biodegradable (wet waste) and non biodegradable (dry waste). After segregation, these wastes should be stored separately into two different containers. The non-biodegradable substances should be either reused or sent for recycling. The biodegradable substances are decomposed naturally. The decomposition process can be done at house hold level too in a pot or a tank. This decomposition will yield a rich manure. The pot should be covered by a thin layer of soil and it should be kept in a dark but airy place. The non-biodegradable things such as plastic articles, glass pieces, metal objects, unused medicines, e-waste should never be thrown in wet wastes. The toxic substances and the insecticides if added to wet waste, will never allow the natural decomposition process. Therefore, only after taking proper precautions we can aim at proper decomposition of domestic wastes.

Plastic is a non-biodegradable substance. It cannot be degraded back into its original constituents . It remains just like that for many hundreds of years. It causes solid waste pollution in any environment wherever it is thrown indiscriminately. If burnt, it releases very toxic gases. If dumped in landfills it obstructs the other decomposition processes. If thrown in water bodies, it causes harm to aquatic life. Cattle graze on plastic unknowingly and are killed by it as it clogs inside their alimentary canal. The gutters and rain water drains get clogged due to plastic bags and this causes cities to submerge in water during heavy rains. Nowadays, the fishermen get more than half of plastic if they cast net in the sea. People use the plastic bags indiscriminately without any thought towards their environmental impact. There are better alternatives for plastic bags such as cloth bags which can be reused again and again. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to ban the use of plastic bag.

2) Huge amount of waste is generated from all over the place per day and so it it is very important to take precautions for proper management of this waste.
3) The domestic waste can be properly segregated into wet  (biodegradable) waste and dry (non-biodegradable) waste.
4) Wet (biodegradable) waste consists of peels of fruits and leftovers of fruits and vegetables, etc. and can be decomposed naturally.
5) Dry (non-biodegradable) waste includes things such as metal objects, glass, e-waste, plastic, etc. Such waste should be collected and sent for recycling.
Hence, we can take proper precautions to manage the decomposition of domestic waste.

Most of the plastic is made of polypropylene, which is a material manufactured from petroleum and natural gas. All of the materials are non-renewable fossil fuel-based materials, and through their extraction and even production, greenhouse gases are created, which further contribute to global climate change.In truth, petroleum-based plastic bags never degrade. Instead of the plastic degrading, it is broken down into small tiny pieces that are swept down and end up in the oceans, which are then consumed by wildlife. Currently, approximately 46,000-1,000,000 plastic fragments are floating within every square mile of the globe’s oceans.

The domestic waste should be properly segregated into biodegradable and non biodegradable. Commonly, biodegradable and non biodegradable substances are called wet and dry garbage respectively. After segregation, these wastes should be stored separately into two different containers. The non-biodegradable substances should be either reused or sent for recycling. The biodegradable substances are decomposed naturally.

The decomposition process can be done at house hold level too in a pot or a tank. This decomposition will yield a rich manure. The pot should be covered by a thin layer of soil and it should be kept in a dark but airy place.
