Waste Management is crucial issue that needs

governmental attention immediately, the practices

used in Some Country to generate waste are toodangerous not only for our selves but they could

be disastrous for our children. At present very

little awareness exists amongst the stakeholders,

it is crucial to educate people and convince them

to adopt practices for reduce, reuse and recycle

rather then generating crap.
