School Waste

Waste can not be separated from our lives. Anyone anywhere, anytime, we are always in touch with the trash. Garbage is the remainder of what we wear, and eat. Plastic wrap is one that pretty much trash we encounter.
Garbage is common and has been around since time immemorial. However, the problem is the excessive amount of trash, and not balanced with good processing. Garbage before it reasonable to be a threat to human life and other inhabitants.
Trash direct impact and indirect impact. Direct impact examples odor and many animals that interfere with our health. Indirect impact blockage of drainage and flooding. This effect occurs when there is no waste treated or left alone.
So that no adverse effects, we can perform in ways that can overcome the negative impact of the smallest sphere in our environment. As an example I will give an example of the steps that we can do in the school environment.
Because the scope of the school could be controlled then the school can make regulations to dispose of waste in place firmly. It is related to the discipline of students in the trash. Although there are a lot of appeal throwing garbage in its place, but when throwing trash in the trash has not become a habit student writings will be useless. Figure most can make this walk is the teachers. By example and warning, habit of throwing trash in its place could be implemented.
After taking out the trash in its place becomes a habit, the next step is to separate types of waste there. In general, waste is divided into two. Organic waste and inorganic waste. Organic waste is waste that can be recycled because it is derived from living things. While inorganic waste is the opposite of organic waste, which is waste that is difficult in recycling. Because it consists of 2 types so it's good there are 2 types of bins, for organic waste and for inorganic waste. This facilitates the separation of trash bins at a later stage of processing.
After the waste is separated by type, then we give a different treatment of the two types of garbage. For organic waste, we can process the waste into fertilizer. Steps we can do to make a fertilizer, namely:
Chopped organic waste with the size of 1-2cm. then put in a large bucket.
Let stand until the rotting garbage. For the decay process, we can let the garbage rot by itself or accelerated the process by using a solution of EM4. This solution can be obtained in a variety of stores that sell farming purposes.
Cover tightly organic waste bucket earlier. Add a solution of decay every time we post a new waste into the bucket. Put in the shade.
Stir the bucket regularly every 3 days once in order to mix evenly.
Allow the organic waste bucket until approximately 2 weeks, up to a process of composting. In the end there will be two types of fertilizer, liquid fertilizer and solid fertilizer.
Before use as a fertilizer or planting medium, dense compost must first dried aerated. As for the liquid can be directly used on the plants.
For our inorganic waste is difficult to recycle, so we can do two things. The first we gather and make a craft item that can be sold. The second we gather and sort by size and type of plastic goods and then sells the plastic to the recycling company.
Hopefully this article can benefit us all.
