"PROTECTING CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH ZERO WASTE"

Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average. The earth's climate is dynamic and always changing through a natural cycle. What the world is more worried about is that the changes that are occurring today have been speeded up because of man's activities.

All of us in our daily lives contribute a bit to this change in the climate. Give these points a good serious thought: All our gadgets run on electricity generated mainly from thermal power plants. Who are responsible for the emission of huge amounts of greenhouse and other pollutants. We generated large quantities of waste in the form of  plastics that remain in the environment for many years and cause damage. Have we ever thought about the number of trees that we use in a day because of papers that we use in school and offices? Timber is used in large quantities  for construction of houses, which means that large areas of forest have to be cut down. A growing population has meant more and more months to feed. Because the land area available for agriculture is limited. Pollution also result from the run-off of fertilizers into water bodies. Did we notice all those human activities affects a lot of the climate change. Climate change is a real problem, but it also has a real solution. Some of its effects are already inevitable and it is necessary that work in building the adaptive capacity of vulnerable communities start immediately. Dealing with climate change however requires deeper international co-operation in many areas notably in promoting adaptation particularly  for developing countries, spurring technology research, development and deployment and enhancing the carbon market. To avoid the worse affect, science tells us that we will need to establish greenhouse gas emissions. It is a major challenge that will require unprecedented  cooperation and participation across  the globe, yet the tool exists to begin addressing the challenge now. Around the country and throughout the world, many political, business and community leaders are working to prevent consequences of global warming because they understand that if we do not address climate change, we will perish.

Reducing, reusing, and recycling municipal waste to me of the exist and most effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It also provides gainful employment to millions of people in developing world, mostly in the informal sector.
