Sorting our garbage (problem)

Nepalis are yet to learn the value of proper waste disposal. And the problem only seems to be getting bigger.

Dustbins, especially ones placed in public spaces, must be tired of us throwing small chocolate wrappers, noodle packaging, bottles, and other waste carelessly on the roads instead of disposing them inside the bin which is there waiting with the words ‘use me’ written all over it. It’s crucial to reflect on how this habit can disrupt the waste management cycle that we have been struggling with since urbanisation. We often desire to have access to parks for relaxation, hiking trails for adventure, picnic spots for leisure, and beautiful backgrounds for our social media profiles. However, we fail to acknowledge the potential consequences of our careless habit of littering at such places. If we carry on with such careless actions, these beautiful locations will be transformed into dumps filled with plastic.
