“Everyone can create it, even a ton!
But cleaning it is frankly no fun!
Would think it reduces with age!
Nah! Tis not gold! But garbage!”
Practically if you ask which is going to be one of the most important profession or duty for our future and the future of the earth then I would say that it is waste management!
We are slowly converting Earth into the biggest garbage dumping ground in the universe!
At one point the only option would be to get a huge rocket and fill it with garbage of a few billion ton and fire it into space out of the solar system!
Or like Interstellar put all the people in Rockets and inhabit some other planet!
Follow this dictum below before it is too late!
“माता भूमि पुत्रुहान पृथ्व्या”

“माता भूमि पुत्रुहान पृथ्व्या”
“Earth is my mother and I am her son.”
The Sanskrit shloka indicates the relationship of humans with the earth comparing it to a mother and child inferring that one should not harm either the environment or its flora and fauna!
For instance, Kautilya’s Arthashastra also contains comprehensive guidelines for managing forests, with a focus on their preservation for future generations. Similarly, the Chola, Solanki, and Asaf Jahi dynasties were among the ancient leaders who used creative and long-lasting methods to manage the resources at hand. Advanced irrigation and water management systems developed by the Indus Valley Civilization are examples of innovations!
In ancient India, waste was not seen as waste. It served as a source for compost, an organic farming manure. The recycling of waste products was the primary goal of the waste management techniques.
We have always been respectful of the nature even in our habits but somewhere down the lane, we have got lost!
In terms of the generation of garbage which is not only of talk and otherwise! We are very efficient! No other species in the world can generate this much garbage in any way!
Over two billion metric tons of unsustainable, human-generated waste are thrown away globally every year, entering our environment and polluting every ecosystem around the world. If we continue practicing waste management strategies as we do today, the total waste generation for 2050 is projected to be around 3.78 billion metric tons, representing a 1.66 billion metric ton increase in waste since 2020!
Every beautiful street and photo hides the bare truth! The garbage! In fact this must be the first thing to be highlighted!
This is because the most beautiful person in the world and the most handsome must answer the call of the nature anyway! There is no hiding that! Everyone likes to keep his or her area clean but that must be after proper management of waste and not by dumping your garbage on the neighbour!
Overall it has been estimated that around sixty percent or so of global waste is collected in controlled municipal facilities, with the remaining 38% dumped, burned, or discarded!
Of the total municipal waste that is collected, 19% is recycled and 30% ends up in sanitary landfills. Sanitary landfills essentially try to keep the trash “out” of the environment, away from water sources, for example. They also use landfill gas collection systems to keep greenhouse gasses (GHGs), created by decomposing trash, from being released directly into the atmosphere!
Americans make up less than 5% of the global population but create nearly 20% of the world’s garbage, producing over 250 million tons of trash annually!
In fact they are even in the Guiness books because of garbage landfill! Located near the famous city of Las Vegas, USA, the Apex Regional Landfill holds the Guinness World Record as the world’s biggest landfill covering an area of 2,200 acres (890 hectares) which can be compared to 1,250 football pitches. Opened in 1993 its anticipated life expectancy is 250 years!
Of course there are innovations in the management of waste like the AI waste management, solar waste management, pneumatic waste management and waste level sensors and many more!
But like most things which the Homo sapiens does, they are too little and too late! If anyone discovers a solution for garbage which is fast, efficient and feasible then he or she would definitely win the Nobel prize! Even the mount Everest, the tallest mountain also has the distinction of being the tallest garbage dump of the world! The path to the summit is apparently laid with so much garbage that the Nepal government has mandated that every climber must take some garbage with him or her back to the base!
Tall and naturally gifted also is the birthday celebrity Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar!
Now properly separate the wet and dry waste and keep in the thrash and sleep!
Shubh ratri!
