Waste Management Problem

1. Introduction

1.1 Background

Looking back in the years before the introduction of industrial revolution, earth was the pollution and waste free world; it was a place where one could simply bond with the environment without facing healthy problems. Earth was all clean ranging from the atmosphere to the land. However there major problem that we are faced with is the lack of waste management which result in land pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, lung related diseases and death.

Many efforts are proposed to alleviate this concern but some instead results in more problems. According to Walpole and Guinness (2012:247) land fill management is a form of waste management in which both industrial and domestic waste is gathered by trash trucks

1.3 Hypothesis

This issue can be solved by using waste energy, encourage people to change their attitude of mind; all individuals should take this concern to their hands instead of relying to the government.

2. Argument outline

The lack of waste management means pollution which can be characterized in major different characteristics i.e. the land, water and air pollution. There are so many problems related to this ranging from environmental problems such as degradation and to human beings developing lung infection diseases. None of these things are easy to deal with as waste management issues are not being viewed as serious problem.

“Firstly the current form of waste management that we are using is unsustainable meaning that its unreliable, it leads to more problems than solutions” (W, Guiness. 2012:247) this means that we still causing pollution by just procrastinating it to another layer of earth’s crust. Above every layer there is another one under and another one under and this below layers can get exposed by the process of erosion for an example the land we leaving in currently was under ground and because of erosion it got exposed, which not every square meter of it is fertile because of the old buried rubbish that caused infertility. Supported by this, Mr. B. Cole simplify this in the paragraph

It could be chemical or poisoners object which that alone put their lives in danger.

2.3. The influence of worldview to waste management

The world view differ from one person to the next, however there are times where people get to share a view or how things should be done in their thinking “Although a vision of life is held only by individuals, it is communal in scope and structure. Since a worldview gives the terms of reference by which the world and our place in it can be structured and illumined, a worldview binds its adherents together into community” (J,H, Olthuis.1989:15)

This is absolute correct many people carry one thinking in their mind when it comes to waste management by commonly thinking it is government’s duty to handle all the trash and therefore they should not take part in this concern, this is why till this day we still using the outdated method of landfill which creates further problems stated above. I personally belief that we should all advance our personal worldviews and don’t do the blame game but the changing of mindset
