Basic Solutions to Waste Management Issues That Will Bring Clean Culture in India

Abstract

The latest population of India is around 1.37 billion and India ranks number two by population in the world. With the increasing population, the obvious thing, the waste generated per day continues to increase. India generates around 65 million tonnes of waste every year and out of which most of the part is not collected, remains untreated at landfills or open areas. This is ruining the beauty of India. And this is already impacting largely on environment, climate, soil, water bodies, national health, and tourism. That also means the waste in India is heading to largely affect the national economy and the global environment. This paper attempts to go back to the basics of human nature and habits, needs and mechanisms for shifting them for the context of waste management and anti-littering to bring clean India forward and contribute to preventing the global environmental crisis.
