Ikaw ug ang basura

Maghisgot na usab kita’g basura, kay kining Christmas season, hangtud na sa pag-Sinulog, modaghan ang basura. Ug kasagaran ra ba natong mga Pinoy, mga fence-sitters, mga tawo nga walay pagpakabana, ang kaugalingon ra maoy gihunahuna. Mga self-centered nga mga tawo.

Particularly, in the case sa basura, moingon dayon kita nga sa gobiyerno na na, wala nay labut kitang lumolupyo, bayad bitaw ta sa garbage fee. What an indifference?

Mga apathetic kita. Unsa man ni? Google: “Apathetic means uncaring. It's an adjective form of apathy, the state of not caring. Mao kini kita kon maoy hisgutan ang basura.

Sa pikas nga bahin, “self-centered people tend to ignore the needs of others and only do what's best for them. You can also call them egocentric, egoistic, and egoistical. In the seventeenth century, however, self-centered meant "fixed or stationary." Mahimo nga sabton nga dili na maliso’, dili na mausab ang  hunahuna. 

Daghan kaayo ang description sa self-centered. Pili lang ka, kon unsa o kinsa ikaw? Some common synonyms of unconcerned are aloof, detached, disinterested, indifferent, egoistic.

On the other hand, If you care about something, you feel that it is important and are concerned about it. Sa ato pa, kon nagpakabana ka, o interesado sa usa ka butang, sama sa panglawas sa tawo (public health), alang kanimo, importante kaayo kini, ug dili ipabali-wala lang

Mao nga makapangutana kita, how does good waste management help public health? But in the first place, aduna ba kitay ‘good’ waste management system sa dakbayan, o sa lalawigan?

Kon wala kita niini, mamilegro ang atong panglawas. a-exposed kita sa tanang matang sa resulta gumikan sa atong pagpabaya (neglect), nga matud pa, “outcomes that put our human health at risk.”

Ania ang impact sa Poor Waste Management on Public Health: Increased air pollution, Risk of water wollution, ug Attraction of germ-spreading vermin. Unsa man ning vermin disease?

Google: “These are diseases caused by small, harmful animals that are difficult to control, such as rodents, lice, or fleas.”

Nia: “The waste that ends up in landfill releases harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane. These chemicals contribute to air pollution which can lead to all kinds of harmful respiratory diseases.”

“Research backs this up, showing that long-term exposure to air pollution can contribute to the development of lung conditions, including asthma and even lung cancer. In the UK alone, it is estimated that air problem contributes to up to 36,000 early deaths every year.” Kuyaw no?

Aniay pipila ka suggestions sa google, nga mahimo kaayo nato, pagbatok sa suliran sa basura: No plastic bottles, Avoid produce that's wrapped in plastics, Avoid single-use plastics. Kahibawo man ta nga maka-clog o makabara kini sa landfills ug mga waterways.

Sa atong mga panimalay, atong paningkamotan nga waste-free ang atong surroundings, ug free from pollution.

Ug on the part sa gobiyerno, “Enlist the services of a professional waste management company.”

Bitaw, daghan man tingalig kwarta ang atong mga LGUs. Hinaut ila kining hatagan og priority. 

Ikaw, mag-indifferent lang gihapon ka, pagpangitag solution to the basura problem?
