NCERT Question 2(a) - Chapter 16 Class 6 - Garbage in, Garbage out

Discuss: Is garbage disposal only the duty of the government?

Answer:

• Proper disposal of garbage should be a concern of every citizen , and not just of the government.
• Each and every individual must reduce activities that generate waste/garbage   that can harm the environment.
• A lot of waste is generated from homes, offices, schools, hospitals, etc. It includes food waste, paper, plastic, glass, metal, etc. These wastes should be segregated before dumping.
• We should not litter public places like parks, monuments etc.
• Citizens should help the government in maintaining proper sanitation by separating the wet and dry waste and ensuring its proper disposal.

Therefore, it is required that every individual must reduce the production of wastes and must help in the proper disposal of these wastes.
