How can we manage waste?

Correct Answer

We can manage waste by following three main practices: Reduce, Reuse, and Separate.

REDUCE means avoiding packaged food and drinks, using cloth bags instead of plastic, and buying only what we need.

REUSE involves using paper on one side for rough work, reusing bottles made of steel or copper, and making items from old newspapers and clothes.

SEPARATE requires putting biodegradable waste (leaves, peels, eggshells) in green dustbins and recyclable materials (plastic, paper, metal, glass) in blue dustbins.

Explanation

The chapter 'Ways to Manage Waste' section explains three key practices: Reduce (first rule - create as little waste as possible), Reuse (second rule - use things instead of throwing away), and Separate (use green dustbins for biodegradable waste and blue dustbins for recyclable materials). Villages and towns that separate and recycle waste keep their surroundings clean.

Solution Steps

  1. Reduce waste by avoiding packaged food and drinks, using cloth bags instead of plastic, and buying only what is needed

  2. Reuse items like paper for rough work, steel or copper bottles, and make new items from old newspapers and clothes

  3. Separate biodegradable waste (leaves, peels, eggshells) in green dustbins from recyclable materials (plastic, paper, metal, glass) in blue dustbins
