Dari majalah Milenia Muslim keluaran Disember 2012, rakyat Malaysia menjana purata 30,000 tan sampah organik sehari. Sampah organik adalah sampah basah iaitu bahan makanan dan seangkatan dengannya.... Adakah ini bermakna rakyat Malaysia memang kuat makan dan sangat murah rezeki.?Malangnya apabila sudah habis madu sepah dibuang begitu sahaja tanpa memikirkan akibatnya.
Saya sering mengasingkan sampah yang boleh dikitar semula seperti kertas, botol plastik, kaca dan plastik bungkusan dalam bekas plastik yang berlainan. Apabila pekerja mengutip sampah datang, mereka pasti akan mengambil plastik yang berisi bahan kitar semula ini ke dalam bekas yang berlainan untuk mereka jual nanti.
Sebelum saya mengandung saya masih boleh mencangkul. Jadi setiap kali saya mahu membuang sisa sampah organik seperti makanan lebihan atau kulit bawang ke, atau kulit telur ke dan sebagainya, saya pasti mencangkul di belakang rumah dan menanam sisa organik tersebut. Pada pendapat saya, itu lah salah satu cara saya mengurangkan pembuangan sampah di tahap individu (jika rumah anda punya kawasan tanah yang lebih)
Sekarang dengan kemajuan teknologi, sampah dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai sumber tenaga elektrik (Waste to Enery atau WTE). Malaysia sepatutnya sudah mula menggunakan kaedah ini untuk pengurusan sampah yang lebih efisyen. Singapura contohnya telah mula menggunakan abu yang terhasil dari teknologi WTE ini untuk membuat pulau dan dijangka pada tahun 2029 Singapura akan memiliki sebuah pulau baru seluas 350 hektar.
Mari bersama menguruskan sampah dengan lebih baik. Tanam sikap Kitar Semula di dalam diri kita sendiri dan seterusnya generasi akan datang demi kebaikan bersama.
Quoting from December 2012 issue of Milenia Muslim magazine, Malaysians generate an average of 30,000 tons of organic waste per day, which consists of food waste and its peers.... Does this mean Malaysians indeed eat a lot and full of sustenance? Unfortunately we usually dumped our waste without thinking of the consequences.
I often segregate recyclable waste such as paper, plastic bottles, glass and plastic packaging in different plastic containers. When workers come to collect garbage, they would take the plastic that contains recycled materials into a different container which they will be able to sell later.
Before I got pregnant I could still do some earth shovelling. So every time I want to throw away organic waste such as food waste or surplus onion skins or eggshell and so on, I would shovel in the backyard and bury the organic waste. In my opinion, it is one of my ways to reduce waste disposal at the individual level.
Now with advances in technology, waste can be used as a source of electrical energy (Waste to Enery or WTE). Malaysia should have already started using this method for more efficient waste management. Singapore for example has started using WTE. One of the by-product from WTE technology is ash. The ash can be used to build an island and is expected in 2029 Singapore will own a new island of 350 hectares.
Let us manage waste better. Let us train ourselves and the next generations to recycle for the good of the future.
(tips from AbdulRahman Chao)
Practical Islam Tip #1: If you have a
backyard, install a bird feeder. The Prophet (pbuh) informed us in an authentic
narration that there is reward in feeding any animal.
Can you imagine that on the Day of Judgment, birds or squirrels might be the
reason for your forgiveness
Practical Islam Tip #2: Whenever you are
outside, make it a point for yourself to always pick up a piece of trash and
dispose of it properly. The Prophet (pbuh) informed us in an authentic
narration that a man had entered Paradise because he had removed a harmful
object from the road.
Can you imagine that on the Day of Judgment a piece of trash might be the
reason for your forgiveness?
