Certainly this is a duty, not a sin. "Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness".
Disasters occur due to both the natural and man-made activities. Hazardous Waste Management (HWM) is a very important issue and is assuming significance globally. There is a growing concern all over the world for the safe disposal of HWs generated from Anthropogenic (caused by human) sources.
Rethinking waste management
There is no Indian policy document which examines waste as part of a cycle of production-consumption-recovery or perceives waste through a prism of overall sustainability. Waste management still is a linear system of collection and disposal, creating health and environmental hazards.
Urban India is likely to face a massive waste disposal problem in the coming years. Until now, the problem of waste has been seen as one of cleaning and disposing as rubbish. But a closer look at the current and future scenario reveals that waste needs to be treated holistically, recognizing its natural resource roots as well as health impacts. Waste can be wealth, which has tremendous potential not only for generating livelihoods for the urban poor but can also enrich the earth through composting and recycling rather than spreading pollution as has been the case. Increasing urban migration and a high density of population will make waste management a difficult issue to handle in the near future, if a new paradigm for approaching it is not created.
