REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Visit a Waste Management FacilityField trip! What a fun way to learn about our impact and consumption! What facility did you visit? What did you learn? Did you take anyone with you?
Manjunath M 9/25/2019 10:58 PMI visited the local BBMP waste sorting facililty. What i learnt was surprising.
1. People are not segregating the waste
2. even if people do segregate the waste, most of these gets mixed up in the sorting facility due to poor working condition and infrastrucure -
