STOP AIR POLLUTION
Air is essential for all humans, flora and fauna and other organisms. Its importance can be estimated by the fact that humans can survive without food and water for a few days, but without the air it is impossible to survive.
Bio-Medical Waste
Medical waste is usually generated in hospitals, clinics, blood banks, or other such health or medical related facilities. If they are not properly handled, they may ultimately run high risks of infections and may become hazards.
Hazardous Waste
Hazardous wastes are generated primarily by chemical production, manufacturing, and other industrial activities. They may cause damage during inadequate storage, transportation, treatment, or disposal operations.
e-Waste
If you don’t need a thing, donate it so someone else can use it. A few stores have a buy-back program. Before you purchase a new gadget at a store, ask the store if they’ll buy back your old camera, laptop, or any other electronic.
Save Trees
Planting a tree is much better than wearing a mask to be safe from pollution.
