Solid Waste Management -A dire necessity

The concept of the three golden rules of sustainability i.e., Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, and its benefits both to us humans and to the environment is well proven. Refuse is the fourth “R” which is a valuable addition to it. Since, the last 3 decades, people are more comfortable with single-use items, and hence, the generation of household waste (?) has gone up uncontrollably. We have very clear responsibilities to protect our environment from the damage being done by these household-used items. So, the concept of “4R” has been given prime importance by environmentalists worldwide. Dumping of generated household waste at designated landfills has become the biggest threat to our environment.
