Waste Management Speech – 1of
Dear All! Welcome to the school auditorium!
Before I begin my speech on waste management, please allow me to extend special thanks to our College Committee Members and Principal for always encouraging programmes based on social awareness. I sincerely hope that my fellow students would reap maximum benefits out of it by informing themselves about the burning issues of our times that our nation is grappling with and what we as the young generation of today can do to curb these escalating issues.
One such problem that has caught people’s attention in the current scenario is the ever-increasing waste and our inability to deal with it. With the ever-growing human population and increasing living standard of people, new settlements are seen burgeoning and industries have also been established to meet the growing human needs for survival. Of course, new agricultural methods are adopted with the help of pesticides and fertilizers for meeting the growing consumption needs. So many other things are also practised for a comfy living. In return, waste matter is generated from industrial and domestic activities, which is dumped into our surroundings.
Cities are now struggling with the problems of the high build-up of waste and its impact on our immediate and global environment. As a result, environmental pollution has come to an alarming stage where our environment is experiencing irreparable damage. Solid and liquid wastes as well as gas particles released from the industries; run-off pesticides and fertilizers from the agricultural practices as well as household sewage from urban regions have come to a point beyond disposal.
However, this problem has also allowed citizens to look for solutions by involving their social and private sectors, by involving the latest innovations for disposal of waste and last but not least, involving behavioural changes and raising people’s consciousness.
It’s high time when we have to do smart handling of “waste” and understand whether the waste is indeed a waste or not. There is an obvious requirement for the latest waste disposal technology which is centred on municipalities and makes use of high/energy technology to progress towards processing and recycling of waste.
The easier waste management method would be to bring down the formation of waste materials. This way we can control the quantity of waste thrown in the landfills. You can recycle old materials for waste reduction and it can be bags, jars, repairing broken pieces rather than buying a new one, avoiding the use of disposable items, such as plastic glass and bags, putting into use second-hand products and purchasing products that don’t require much designing.
Then composting is yet again a hassle-free and natural bio-degradation based process that makes use of organic waste, i.e. kitchen waste and remains of garden or plants and transforms it into nutrient-rich food for your plants. It is one of the excellent methods of waste disposal where it can transform unsafe organic items into safe compost.
Landfills are the highly sought after method for the disposal of waste these days. Landfills are only successful where there is a lot of space and unfortunately it’s a success only in developed countries. However, it is said that landfills lead to water and air pollution and inevitably affect the environment. So besides this, you can look for other methods I have just described for waste management and protecting your environment from the hazardous impact of piled up waste.
Thank You!!
Waste Management Speech – 2
Today is World Environment Day and our company has always emphasized adopting environment-friendly measures and doing waste management. I would like to share some important thoughts on waste management on this occasion.
Waste disposal or waste management refers to managing the waste from its initiation to its final removal. This includes collation, transportation, processing, recycling and finally disposal of waste along with monitoring, regulation and control. It also covers the lawful and regulatory aspects that relate to waste management, including the instructions and guidance on recycling and disposal of waste management, etc.
The phrase usually relates to all types of waste, whether produced during the withdrawal of raw materials, the dispensation of raw materials into final goods, consumption of final good, or other human activities such as metropolitan (institutional, residential and commercial), farming and social (household hazardous waste, health care and sewage sludge, etc.) The objective of waste management is to minimize the hazardous effect of waste materials on health, environment or aesthetics.
The practice of waste management varies country-wise (developed and developing nations), region-wise (urban and rural area) and sector-wise (residential and industrial). While urban regions may employ advanced machines and the latest technology to supervise the waste, rural areas may be more dependent upon human labour; residential areas may utilize safe and sound processes whereas industries may utilize giant machines, etc to control the factory waste products. The waste materials at the institutional and residential level in the metros and cities are administered by the local authorities also known as Municipal Corporation; while the management of harmless industrial and commercial waste is accomplished by the generator of those waste.
I would now like to point out the most commonly used methods for waste management:
Landfills – This is managed by throwing the daily garbage in the landfills; it is the most common method used today.
Recovery and Recycling – Through this method, the useful items from the discarded is extracted for the next use such as conversion into energy, usable heat, fuel, electricity, etc.
Combustion or Incineration – In this method, community solid wastes are burned at high temperatures to convert same into gaseous products or residue.
Plasma Gasification – Plasma is an electrically charged gas. In this method, the molecular bonds of the waste are broken down due to the intense heat in the container.
Waste to Energy – In this method, the non-recyclable waste materials are converted into useful electricity, heat or fuel through various processes.
Composting – It is a natural process of bio-degradation; it converts the kitchen, plant and garden waste into nutritional food for the plants.
Waste Minimization – The best method is to minimize the creation of waste products by repairing the broken utensils, avoidance of plastic bags, etc.
It is important that we are protective of our environment and always follow the 3Rs of waste hierarchy: ‘Reduce’, ‘Re-use’ and ‘Recycle’ to save our environment.
Thank You!
Waste Management Speech – 3
Good morning respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends.
The topic allocated to me for our today’s assembly is ‘Waste Management’. We as human beings should necessarily be aware and cautious about this topic.
This term means the management of the waste. So, what exactly does waste mean? As our teacher has always taught us that waste means something that is eliminated or discarded as no longer useful or required after a stage. It is something worthless.
We as human beings should understand that everything that is called waste, involves some cost and effort of somebody or the other. We should minimize or further aim at eliminating the waste from our lives. Waste is both a consequence and a symptom of lives lived or things used unwisely.
Waste management is the science that deals with the prevention and monitoring of waste. Though it is a science, it is not a difficult one. We do not need a rocket science implementation for this. It is as simple as monitoring our activities and actions so that we ultimately release the least amount of waste.
Collection of waste and disposal of rubbish plays an extremely important role in the global cleanliness and sustainability drive. Most crucial is this accompanied with people’s health and the conservation of resources being the responsibility of every government. Our government has created many garbage dumps that indicate solid waste in a separate box and other waste in separate boxes. This is deliberately done to make it convenient for the companies or government to get this waste recycled and ready for next use in some other form.
In earlier generations during our great grandparent’s times, people used to dump their waste by digging a hole beneath the surface. Then, this was considered the best as this could easily be decomposed and act as the fertilizer of some sort. But for our generation or the coming one, this option is not at all feasible. This is so because, the population earlier was less and hence waste creation was less, also due to harsh chemicals and varied artificial products today; it is not at all easy for the waste to be decomposed.
Keeping in mind the healthy pollution-free air and overall environment; we should focus on managing our waste and even monitor the activities of others so that we ensure less creation of waste.
To conclude my point of discussion; I would just request you all to please watch your actions very closely and ensure minimal wastage. We should educate the public on the importance of conserving the environment by managing solid wastes. We all have the responsibility to make people learn the impacts which one can avail as benefits through managing wastes. Please spread the message and help us save our environment. Let’s aim at complete elimination or the perfect management of waste all around.
Thank you for being a part of this discussion. Your presence encouraged me to put forward my point in the most effective way. Thank you!
Waste Management Speech – 4
Hello friends, welcome to this seminar on the occasion of World Environment Day. It feels so good to see such a large number of enthusiastic audiences. I am glad that we all are gathered here to share our views on environmental-related topics.
I chose ‘waste management’ as my topic for today’s discussion. Managing waste is, in itself, a great deed that one can do to directly contribute to society and mother earth. One should monitor their activities and the amount of waste produced because of those activities.
Amongst all, the companies or the industries specifically the ones that manufacture should opt for the processes or techniques that control the waste production. To make our surroundings and environment healthy one should manage the waste properly. Manufacturing companies should encourage the consumers or customers to bring their own reusable for packaging and also the public should be given priority to choose reusable products.
To understand it more precisely, I would say that waste management is the process of treating solid wastes. It also offers a variety of solutions for recycling items that don’t belong to trash or are completely discarded and of no use. Waste management is about how garbage and waste can be used as a valuable resource for us and our future generations. Waste management disposes of the products and substances that you have used safely and efficiently. Rubbish, garbage and waste can cause air and water pollution. Rotting garbage is also known to produce lots many harmful gases that mix with the air and can cause breathing problems in people.
Waste management is something that every household, human being and business owner in the world needs. Many authorities collect such waste and focus on recycling it for the betterment of society. This is done by the method of regular collections. These industries work on the overall concept of waste management. It includes all amongst other things, collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste together with monitoring and regulation. Waste can easily be converted into reusable things by getting it recycled.
We as individuals should put in our efforts to work on waste management for the betterment of ourselves, our future generation and the overall economy. We all should understand that waste can be created by anything. It can be generated during the extraction of raw material, the processing of raw materials into intermediate and final products, the consumption of final products, or other human activities including municipal, agricultural, and social activities. And, waste management is intended to reduce the adverse effects of waste on health and the environment.
To conclude my discussion, I would just like to tell you all that it is our responsibility to closely adhere to every rule of government to control waste and efficiently exercise waste management. Helping eliminate waste will add to the environment’s health and prosperity. We as citizens of the country owe this responsibility of ensuring the proper execution of waste management.
Thank you!
