Waste, and how we choose to handle it, affects our world’s environment. The environment is everything around you including the air, water, land, plants, and man-made things. You need a healthy environment for your own health and happiness. Effective waste management is very important to everyone. The waste we create has to be carefully controlled. This should be done to make sure that it does not harm the environment and our health. Waste is anything we throw away or get rid of, that doesn’t get used. We should learn to practice the three R’s of waste management: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

While I was walking around my village I saw a lot of litter and waste. I saw a lot of plastic bottles mixed with unusable stones. Some people are harming the environment because they are lazy to go and throw rubbish in the bins. Along my walk I saw a rusted tank. This tank is very dangerous because people and cars can have an accident. This tank can be recycled into different things. When we do recycling we help to keep our earth healthy and green. When we throw litter out in the street we increase pollution and we have a bad image of our village.

Some people instead of throwing the rubbish in the bins or skips, throw rubbish in the countryside. Instead asking for the free bulky refuse service for old mattresses, sofas, car parts, they throw them beside the skips or in a valley. If we throw plastic in the sea we can kill a lot of fish, birds and turtles. The rubbish makes bad smell and bring a lot of insects like flies and mosquitoes. The rubbish can hurt animals like dogs and cats because when they try to eat from the cans their mouth can get stuck in it. To have a beautiful countryside people have to stop throwing rubbish in it and learn to recycle more. Waste can bring disease to people and animals. If people throw the waste in the countryside they will be polluting our fields. It isn’t a nice thing to see waste in our countryside.

Let us make a difference to protect our environment and keep it clean. Battery bins for small batteries are found in various places. Valuable metals like cobalt, nickel and silver are recovered from batteries. The Local Council provides the Bulky Refuse service which is offered free of charge to the general public. Bring-in Sites on our island consist of four containers: Blue – plastic, White – paper, Brown – glass, Black – metal. Please separate waste at home by using the grey or black bags. At school we separate waste: plastic, paper, batteries and ink-cartridges. The EkoSkola committee in our school help us to be more aware of our environment. It is a pity that although we have lots of information about recycling there are still people who throw their waste in the countryside. Reduce, reuse and recycle. Much energy can be saved by recycling than by manufacturing new items.

Do not put out the garbage bag more than an hour before the truck comes because dogs might tear it. We have three places with recycle bins to sort the material and recycle in our village. We can recycle metal, plastic, paper and glass in separate bags to help to reuse the materials and create jobs. If you throw garbage on pavements people can’t walk on it so they will go on the road and they will get hit by cars. If you throw garbage in the fields trees can’t grow, you will get a fine and pay for it. With rubbish in the fields the countryside will be damaged and no tourist will come to visit our beautiful island. For fridges, sofas, beds and more you can call the local council and they will take it. Waste attracts insects and contaminate the ground water soil and air causing diseases.
