ADVANTAGES OF
                 RECYCLING
•   It helps in conserving the natural resources
•   Helps in reducing the pollution that may come up due to disposal of waste
    materials
•   Recycling helps to limit the amount of glass, paper and plastic that must be
    produced
•   Makes people environmentally aware
•   It saves space in landfills. The items that we recycle are not biodegradable.
•   By saving energy you are cutting down the amount of CO2 being added to the
    greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere. So you are slowing down global
    warming.
Reusing of waste

•Converting old pieces of cloth into
doormats, cushions etc

•Fly ash from power plant is used to
make cement substitute, bricks

•Many waste material serves as raw
material for handicrafts.

Governments initiative in waste
               management




• Both central & state government takes up the
  responsibility of sustaining the environment &
  proper waste management.
• Implementing schemes & laws for environmental
  protection.
Government initiatives (facts)



• Indian urban areas        • Potentially 1700 mw
  generate approx 30          of power can be
  million tonnes of solid     generated from urban
  waste & about 4400          & municipal waste and
  million cubic meters        about 1000 mw from
  of liquid waste every       industrial waste
  year
Governmental environmental
         policy
        • Not building large dams for
          hydroelectric power generations.It leads
          to submergence of normal land and
          displacement of people.
        • Checking degradation of land & water
          through wasteland management
        • Making laws of environmental
          protection THE ENVIRONMENT (PROTECTION) ACT, 1986
        • Conserving natural resources by making
          reserved forests & biosphere reserves
Disadvantages:

    ..Forests and wildlife are damaged in
    the beginning of the project

    ..the original river is often diverted and
    then down-river may be horribly
    effected by the change in course




                                                 ..Arable land is
                                                 eaten up by the
                                                 newly created lake.
