Waste is one of the most pressing issues facing our environment today. Every year, millions of tonnes of rubbish end up in landfills or polluting our oceans. Much of this waste could be reduced, reused, or recycled—but isn’t. The problem isn’t just the amount of waste we produce, but also how we manage it. Poor waste management leads to pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and harm to wildlife. It also wastes valuable resources that could be put back into the economy. From plastic packaging to food scraps, small changes in how we handle waste can make a big difference. Choosing reusable items, separating recyclables, and supporting businesses with sustainable practices are all part of the solution. Addressing waste is not just about cleaning up, it’s about rethinking our habits and building a future where resources are valued, not thrown away.
