Biodegradable And Non-Biodegradable Waste

key notes ;

Introduction:

• Waste is anything we don’t need anymore and want to throw away.
• There are two main types of waste: biodegradable and non-biodegradable.

Biodegradable Waste:

• Biodegradable waste can decompose or break down naturally over time.
• Examples include food scraps, leaves, paper, and some types of cloth.
• When we throw biodegradable waste away, it turns into compost or soil.

Non-Biodegradable Waste:

• Non-biodegradable waste cannot break down naturally and stays in the environment for a very long time.
• Examples include plastic bags, glass bottles, and aluminum cans.
• These items can harm the environment if not disposed of properly.

Why It’s Important to Know the Difference:

• Knowing the difference between biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste helps us make better choices about how we dispose of our trash.
• It’s important to recycle and properly dispose of non-biodegradable waste to reduce pollution and protect our planet.

How to Dispose of Waste:

• Biodegradable waste can be composted, which means it’s turned into nutrient-rich soil.
• Non-biodegradable waste should be recycled whenever possible. If not, it should go in a trash bin.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle:

• Remember the 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
• Reduce: Try to use less of things that create waste, like plastic bottles.
• Reuse: Find ways to use things again, like reusing a water bottle instead of throwing it away.
• Recycle: When you can’t reduce or reuse, recycle items like paper, plastic, and glass.

Conclusion:

• Understanding biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste helps us take care of our environment.
• By making smart choices about waste, we can protect our planet for future generations.
