This article is all about solid waste management that took place, specifically on Payatas Dump site and San Matheo Landfill, Philippines. These places are two of the most known garbage dump site in the country.
Regarding on environmental concern, Hazard will naturally be effective to the natural surroundings and especially to the community/ people living near the said area. The pollution will destroy many natural resources such as trees/ plants and can contaminate any bodies of water such as rivers, and also the air. And thus, giving numerous, different illnesses to many people.
Each and every second counts is an occurrence of level increase in garbage and if this activity will continue for a long time, the level of hazard will also increase, obviously.
The government implemented a law on proper disposal of garbage. By separating the biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes. So that the non-biodegradable wastes will be recycled and reused while the biodegradable wastes will just decay and can also be fertilizers. But it seems like no one is in favor of doing it or let's just say people can't afford to do it because of laziness. Even though there are few among us who follow the implemented law, still the percentage of lessening the pollution is very low. If we want our world to be clean, then we should act/ do the right thing without considering the effort of work.
Just take the initiative of doing the proper disposal of garbage!
ENVIRONMENT FIRST!

I went to payatas the other day with a friend. we distributed school supplies to a school there. The garbage is not as bad like before but people's main livelihood is still sorting and selling garbage.
