"The Change Starts With You"

For how many years, we have seen how people neglected and ignored their waste, with no proper disposal and lack of responsibility. People's ignorance towards the environment and its effect is now little by little being visible in our sights. The numerous plastics and other waste materials covering rivers, floods in various urban areas because of trash trapped in drainage, and harming different species in land, water and air.

The global effect of neglected wastes and improper waste disposal is very dangerous to our environment and our health. We need to fight this harmful effects for us and our environment to be safe. We can help to combat these problems by simply practicing the proper waste disposal through separating the biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials, the usage of biodegradable materials in daily life, helping different programs and organizations that aims to guide people, protect the environment, and advocates cleanliness in the environment.

We can only achieve our goals for the environment, especially for waste management, if we have unity, responsibility for our actions, and are eager to achieve these goals. Change our ways to combat improper waste disposal. change to help.
