Hello,
Salutations to you all Steemians in this community, hope you are doing well today,I like to share this great experience that I have about the plastic containers that are regarded as waste in an area I visited, that's reason I chose to write on it's control and Importance to the economy of any community in a particular country.
plastic waste to me is any thing plastic product such as carry bags, pouchtes or multilayered plastic or sachet package, plastic bottles etc. Which have been discarded after use by the people in any community at any given time.plastic wasteis also any product made of plastic which have been discarded after use or after their intended life is over .
This activities is seriously ongoing in every part of the country in the world today which I happened to locate one in place known as IKot Akpan street,in Uyo Akwa Ibom State Nigeria.
The plastic bottles containers have use dumped in different areas with out control, some are spread on the ground which later have their ways to different street, some to the streams which is their source of drinking water.some to the rives around, some are spread around our surroundings at home.
But my attention is to that of bottle Waters containers that are discard wrongly after been used.
THE ONLY WAY OF PLASTIC CONTROL IN THE AREA IS HAND PICKING:
This is done by the children, women,men who are in the class of less privilege going around the street, waste control point to select pick these plastic bottles.they will put them in a bag for those that are buying it. Some are selling it Fifteen dollars per bag , and it has become a source of income to their households,
In different. home, some use plastic waste bin to put them,image here shows a typical plastic bottles control
My own point of view is the modern way of plastic waste control should be introduce to the community which is waste management strategies, scientific based, such as recycling, incineration, bioremediation, and landfills. These methods are be introduce by government.
EFFECT OF THE PLASTIC WASTE IN THE AREA:
It's as cause a lot of enviromental and human effect to the village and the community at large,it major are plastic pollution alter habitats and natural processes, alsi reducing ecosystem's ability to adapt to climate change, It's directly affecting thousands of people's livelihoods, food production capabilities and social well-being in the community.
Like drinking water have been a problem to the people., their local way of controlling the waste is not helping matter.
IT'S ECONOMIC IMPORTANT TO THE AREA:
It has great job to people who put interest in search of discarded plastic bottles,it also increase their population due to inflow off buyers from other part of the state around.
Generally recycling industries have great millions of Job to develop the economy.
My Steemians, I hereby advice our community members to help research on this in this area their selves in other to recommend any society that plastic waste is not properly control, because it's will create Jobs and more over government intervention to control it will reduce damage to livelihood and reduce Hazzard.
Thank you
