Following are the advantages of recycling:
- It conserves natural resources
- It saves money
- It prevents pollution (air pollution, water pollution)
- It saves living things from getting harmed
- It reduces global warming
- It makes people aware of the importance of protecting our environment
Following are the consequences of pollution include:
- Health: People are more likely to be facing stress, anxiety, anger and other mental health issues who live in warm and humid weather. Counselling centres/Hospitals/Mental health support organisations should volunteer free sessions with people of those locations. They can host campaigns to promote the issues and take surveys to recognise people being affected and support them.
- Air Pollution: Government should set rules to limit the time duration of industries working to minimise emissions. For example, a factory can operate five days a week from 9 am till 2 pm. For the rest of the working hours, they can work on other parts where emissions are not made.
- Cutting Down Trees/Waste Materials: Recycling should be made mandatory at school/colleges, offices/malls and any other corporate areas to avoid rapid usage of plastics/papers. One should dispose of waste/garbage appropriately according to its materialistic properties. The Government should make guidelines for it.
- Traffic Jam and Human behaviour: Heavy traffic jams in cities like Delhi, Noida, and Mumbai of India make people annoyed and disturbed by waiting for a long time in their transportations. Carpooling can be an efficient way to minimise the number of cars on the road. School/Colleges can set rules for students/staff living nearby to come together that it saves time and reduces transportations on roads as well.
- Spreading awareness: Schools/Colleges/Corporates should promote the Man-Environment interaction to understand the consequences better and make activities like recycling, limiting hours of emissions mandatory so that the knowledge comes into use rather than just learning about the issues.
