Waste management is an important topic today and kids are taught in school how we all can contribute towards reducing waste. Here we take a look at toys that teach children effective waste management.

Waste generated by humans is causing damage to Earth and deteriorating the quality of air, water and soil.
Each day massive amount of garbage is produced all over the world but unfortunately most of it is left untreated, which leads to pollution and health hazards.
That is why it is important to practice the 3Rs of Waste management – Reduce, reuse, Recycle.
- Reduce: Use only what tis needed an waste less of everything.
- Reuse: Look for ways to reuse things so that waste is reduced
- Recycle: Convert waste and discarded products into new and useful products.
Types of Waste
The types of waste we generate can be categorized as biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste.
- Wastes like fruit peel, paper, wood are biodegradable as they decompose easily and mix with the soil. These cause n harm to the environment and instead make the soil fertile.
- Wastes like plastic, glass, rubber, electronic components are non-biodegradable as they do not decompose and are bad for the environment. So they need to be discarded properly.
So the next time you rush to throw any item in the trash can, think if it can be reused and put to good use.
