wProblems caused by garbage.x

Garbage is now becoming one of the major problems on our island. Also the Pacific islands are now getting polluted with garbage. This happens because of using too much things that can become garbage after using them. Those things are tins, cans, plastics, batteries, tires and many more that pollute the environment. They are called ÔGarbageĠ. Some garbage can be recycled while others cannot. Some can be very dangerous and some can be very useful. But most of them are very dangerous that they can cause many problems which can affect our health as well as our country.

Dangerous garbage is explained in the following: batteries, tires, medical waste and many more. They can be very harmful for us to use them. If you happen see that garbage, it would be better to save them or else they will hurt people, especially kids. We cannot bury them or else they poison the water underground that we use for drinking. Oil, gasoline, kerosene and other chemicals that can poison our environment should be carefully handled. They are very harmful to the water underground. We should provide special facilities in order to get rid of them. In some cases, many wastes or garbage should be returned to where they are made in order to be recycled.

Some garbage is very useful. We can use them for whatever we need. These are especially containers like bottles, cans and many more that can be very useful for us. No need for us to send them back for we can use them again. If we donĠt need them it is better for use to bury them for they are not poison. But it would be very bad if we burn them for they may produce bad smoke which can affect us.

We can be affected and get a kind of sickness that will affect our lives if we are not careful with poisonous garbage. Many garbage produces many germs which can make us sick. We can get cough, bad breath, worm and more.
Also when water is affected, that is the most dangerous problem for it can kill many people at one time. Especially poisonous things can affect the good water. So we have to keep those things away from our water (well).
Too many garbage can affect the cleanliness of the country. The cleanliness of the country is very important, for it can attract outsiders to visit it. In places where they have ministries for tourists, this can be very helpful for them to get their money. Not only for money, but especially for the people to have good health.
To protect ourselves from getting unhealthy, we shall do some cleaning. CCUF is the most important company for helping our environment reducing the amount of garbage. They use aluminum garbage to recycle them and that we benefit from. We give them aluminum and they give us money.
We should keep our garbage safe. One day we will need them. Garbage is also important but make sure we keep them in a safe place. The cleanliness of the country will result to the good health of the people.
