It caused bigger problems that affect the environment, the health, and the life of the people. Around 16.6 Million Metric Tons of garbage are produced, of which 45.19% are not properly disposed. Improper waste disposal contaminates the soil, water, and air, so the longer the exposure, the more dangerous it becomes to each one of us. In congested areas, such as the squatters, they are prone to garbage-caused diseases, flash floods, and landslides. 

All of that happened due to people's ignorance of proper waste disposal. We don't want to live in a trash can. Stop making it one.

That will help to make our world a better place, greener and inhabitable for the whole country. Moreover, we can save our environment if we refuse what we do not need; reduce what we do need; reuse what we consume; recycle what we cannot refuse, reduce, or reuse; and rot (compost) the rest.]]> 2021-08-12 10:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ajgbulnosen/41kb719lcf0mmeo4/wish/1676654268 ajgbulnosen https://padlet.com/ajgbulnosen/41kb719lcf0mmeo4/wish/1676654269 The government starts programs that helps communities, for example the "Bayan ko, Linis ko" program which is implemented in one of the cities in the Philippines where they conduct nationwide clean-up activities to promote cleanliness in coastal, inland waterways, esteros, creeks, public places, roads and major throughfares. The government wants to encourage proper waste management and volunteerism and foster the participation of all sectors to include government, NGOs/civil society groups, schools, churches and the private sector.

The United States is projected to generate an entire year's worth of medical waste in just two months dealing with COVID-19, according to Frost & Sullivan.

Since March 2020, when the city started experiencing the pandemic, waste produced by the city ballooned to 600 to 650 tons per day. Cenro plans to purchase another 10-hectare property adjacent to the existing landfill for expansion.
