Trash a serious environmental problem

No man can be happy if not seen himself. As the Chinese proverb which neglects the need to identify and implement environmental culture in the environment where we live, the results will be very negative and contaminated the environment where it lives, it requires more identification commitment agencies involved, as the residents, Government, City, State. It is alarming to note in the cities of the country and not given the required attention to garbage collection, treatment, she generates pollution and endangers health. There is a significant oversight in the commitment of the toilet, the garbage collection that leaves a lot to say, in the treatment of domestic waste. No wonder pass through the main streets of a city center (Venezuelan case) and see how the garbage is scattered everywhere, ranging from paper, cans, bags, rags, other committees, plastics, where clearly noted one hand the lack of environmental awareness of citizens, their collaboration and the inefficiency of other state agencies in the daily collection of waste.

To this is added with regard to domestic waste found on the doors of many houses, in bags that sometimes take days to be collected, often broken, damaged, due to the animals that are open for food and sometimes beggars, polluting the environment, where many of these residues decay, they produce bad smells and looks disgusting sight. The authorities involved in providing a good service of garbage collection have not been identified with this responsibility in all its dimensions, it is forgotten that increasingly migrate to many cities a significant number of citizens increases the population in large cities and All this leads to increased waste. As a result, it is not surprising to many cities collapsed as regards waste and damage that is causing this, because this really becomes a serious concern in the way of how to give way to plans, actions that handle and give effective solution to this menacing reality as an open door to contamination of soil, water and air.

It is very true when it states that the environmental problems that can be generated from garbage dumps in the open, or who do not have relevant health checks are: water pollution and groundwater super easy (if not waterproof wells) , contamination of soils and the atmosphere (this problem is intensified when the wastes are not discriminated against because of their origin, as the diverse accumulation of organic matter, batteries, cans, and others, regardless of the breakdown of each item or toxicity of the same). The proliferation of rodents, and potential vectors of disease transmission and the poisoning of plant and animal species are risks to consider. For human health of pollution released by landfills are a significant amount of gases such as methane, CO2 and toxic gases BACEN. Besides being the accusers of various diseases. Very interesting what Jesica exposes Salvatierra, household waste is an environmental issue of increasing concern. The increase of population in cities and changes in consumption are critical in the production of waste. Techniques either landfill disposal or incineration invariably involve environmental pollution, so it is essential to policy change derived habits.

Jessica tells Salvatierra, it is considered that throughout history, the main problem of organic and inorganic waste disposal has been. The disposal of household waste from large cities, found his throwing waste solution to the peripheries, hiding underground in landfills, throwing them into rivers or simply burning them. A reality that still some countries, cities do, regardless of the consequences should be noted that in areas where these giants are placed waste containers (many of them if you have the necessary health conditions) is around the city, which houses low-income people in slums. Many of these dumps up, not only the sources of infection and contamination, but a way of life for those who engage in the rubbish. That shows a lot in some cities of Venezuela, Caracas, Valencia, Barquisimeto, Puerto Cabello, to name a few. Very true when he says, currently, the change in lifestyle and economic growth of countries in Latin America has led to an increase in the generation of household and commercial waste.

The issue is completed with the change in consumer habits and diverse composition of modern waste (plastic containers, cans, computers, etc.). Very true when it states that the appliances, computers have created new technology and real cemeteries, plastics and composite materials that do not degrade. Their elimination is a concern of the new century, so it is not easy to find a treatment for clean and efficient removal, unless it is recycled. Keep in mind to this reality as highlighted Salvatierra, which the Latin American and Caribbean Initiative for Sustainable Development (ILAC) "city population of Latin America and the Caribbean now account for 78 percent of the total, the highest rate of urbanization continent, and the trend is still to a greater concentration in cities, whose inhabitants are growing in the 2005-2010 period at a rate of 1.7 percent each year. " The challenge now is to contain the debris from that cities generate. For the United Nations Organization (UNO) is called household waste "any material that has no direct use value and is discarded by their owners."

These are generated in homes, offices, educational establishments, as well as shops and restaurants, including those that are generated in the hospitals, which have compositions similar to those conceived within households. The problems facing Latin American countries according to a study by ECLAC (Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean) is that "it is remarkable the change in composition of the waste where there is a decrease in biodegradable materials and this poses challenges for the treatment, recovery and disposal of MSW (Municipal Solid Waste). " That is, there is a greater preponderance of inorganic waste, which do not decompose and toxic properties of elements. However, in recent years in Latin America have developed projects to mitigate this situation, which seeks to minimize waste from reduce, reuse and recycle these items. However, many countries of the region continue to have problems with waste disposal and landfills, as well as open dumps Undoubtedly, the call is very important, that is necessary for each person on the planet aware of how to throw it away, that everything that is wasted can damage the environment.

It is also important to seek clearance mechanisms may be cleaner to avoid impact on the planet's wildlife and people
