The United Nations has designated March 30th as the International Day of Zero trash, a global event to combat the growing problem of trash accumulation.
Worldwide, people generate an astounding 430 million tonnes of plastic every year, with the majority of it being single-use items. Experts project that municipal solid garbage will increase from 2.3 billion tonnes to 3.8 billion tonnes over the next 25 years, making the problem even worse. The problem is made worse by insufficient waste management services; as a result, 2.7 billion people do not have access to solid waste collection, and only approximately 60% of MSW is handled in controlled facilities.
One million people die each year in underdeveloped countries as a result of plastic pollution, which is highlighted on the International Day of Zero Garbage to emphasize the negative effects of garbage on human and environmental health. Recognizing garbage as a resource, working to reduce garbage production, and promoting resource recovery and reuse are all necessary to alleviate this problem. This strategy necessitates a combined endeavor from communities, governments, businesses, and consumers, especially to aid individuals who have been hit the hardest by the garbage problem.
According to the World Bank, worldwide garbage production is projected to reach 3.4 billion tonnes by 2050, making global waste management a pressing concern for societies worldwide. Innovation, a circular economy, and thorough national and municipal legislation are all necessary for efficient garbage management. To lessen trash's negative impact on Earth and human health, we must advocate for more environmentally friendly methods of waste management and consumption.
