Question

We often observe domestic waste decomposing in the bylanes of residential colonies. Suggest ways to make people realise that the improper disposal of waste is harmful to the environment.

Answer 1

(i) When the domestic waste is decomposed by the action of micro-organisms then it becomes the breeding place of files and mosquitoes. Files and mosquitoes are the carrier and vector of many dangerous diseases. So some posters related to the spread or such diseases can be pasted on the walls in public places to create awareness.
(ii) There should be a strict fine imposed by the sanitary officer from the families which throw their domestic waste on the roads.
