In this study effects of organic and inorganic wastes on the environment are studied and proper solutions to the various problems are suggested. After that, survey of various sites is done to understand how the waste management is done at a large scale. The end goal is to effectively implement the 3 R’s (Reuse, Reduce and Recycle) so that utilization of various resources can be reduced and the amount of waste generated can be reduced. Some simple ways for a sustainable living were suggested which are easy to implement in our daily lives.
