Do you know that some countries do something to reduce
trashes?? Maybe you all do not know, but we will tell you now :D It is a nice knowledge :D
1. Mexico City
The local government of Mexico City has launched several
measures to reduce the waste by making a program called 'Trash for food' at Mexico City barter market. The Mercado de Trueque began in March 2012.
People can come and participate by giving their trashes like
glass, plastic and cardboard waste, which is separated and weighed. Then, they
will get vouchers which can be exchanged at a nearby farmers' market. The
farmers usually sell a locally food like vegetables and fruits.
It is a big hit and people keep coming. It is actually a
successful program to reduce trashes in Mexico City.
2. Ethiopia
The Ethiopian city of Addis Ababa makes some pilot projects
to reduce trashes in the city.
One of the first pilots developed by the Income Generation
and Climate Protection (IGNIS) project is a paper recycling facility. The paper recycling manufacturing
facility comprises a production centre, where waste paper and other wastes such
as banana leafs and teff straws are converted into paper sheets. The facility
also comprises a converting centre, where the paper sheets are refined into
finished products such as postcards,
photo frames, notebooks and coffee bags.
Another pilot done by Addis Ababa is Korales - recyclable collectors. In Addis Ababa, some individuals,
so called 'korales', already generate income by collecting recyclables. These
korales purchase metals, plastics, reusable bottles, worn out shoes and clothes
from households, having announced their presence in the street by shouting. The
purchased material is carried in rice/wheat bags to the market place where it
is sold to intermediate buyers.
However, the bags are heavy and due to a combination of the
hard work and malnutrition, the korales, are often of slight build and
frequently suffer serious back problems. The result was a backpack with a belt
that transfers the weight to the hips. Walking with free hands increases
balance and the backpack enables the worker to investigate potential purchases
without having to set down and lift the weight.
3. Japan
In Japan, waste is divided into 4 types which are
combustible, non-combustible, recycle, and large-sized trashes. People need to
buy a special trash plastic and put every kind of waste in the right plastic. There
is a schedule prepared for the officer to take the trashes.
In the waste collection center, the trashes collected will
be burn in the incinerator. The result of trash combustions can be used as “cone-block” to lining the streets and one
of electric production resources.
Well, we still have more and we will share it to you later. Keep throwing away your trashes into trashbin guys :D We hope that someday Indonesia will make a program for Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling trashes. #TrashToTrashbin (Mei - sorry if there's something wrong in my english)
