Wealth out of waste & Natural resources conservation

The domestic / household wastes generally consists of materials like plastics, glass
bottles, paper, wood, food waste, metal tins, packing material, milk packets, etc.
All these solid wastes generated have commercial value and can be recycled or re-
used. The wastes collected from different households can be collected by the
authorities and brought to a centralized location, where they can be segregated
into various components like paper, glass, plastics, wood, packing material, etc.
These components can be used as a raw material for various industries or
recycled, thus saving our precious natural resources and sustainability.

Cleanliness increases the aesthetics of the area. Hygiene increases quality of life.
These together increases health, wealth and happiness in the society.

Conclusion
The simple and cost effective measures like household waste management,
sanitation, cleanliness of the surroundings, hygienic, prevention of pollution,
should be observed and maintained through out India. Effective solid waste
management with the generation of “wealth out of waste” should be our motto.

Mahatma Gandhi dreamt of an India which was not only free but also clean and
developed. As citizens of free India we should fulfill the dream of the Father of
our Nation, by committing towards cleanliness and make our Mother India, the
most beautiful country in the world.
