CHAPTER I
The Problem and Its Background
Introduction
Background of the Study Barangay 663 in Ermita Manila is surrounded by three (3) universities namely, Adamson University, Technological University of the Philippines and Philippine National University. In this case, this said barangay has obviously many carinderias, sari-sari stores and bakery. Most of the time, students hang-out in these places and it cannot be denied that the area or the streets have trashes. Ever since, flood is the main problem whenever there is a typhoon. The people in the community have nothing to blame on but the garbages that are not properly thrown in the trashcans, especially plastics. This research paper is conducted to help the people in Barangay 663

Hypothesis Nowadays, people in Barangay 663 are becoming conscious about their surroundings through observation and experience. All they can do now is to be more responsible to avoid unwanted situations.
Scope and Limitations of the Study This study will tackle the problem of waste and how it should turn into something that would benefit the community and awareness of how individuals and students could play an active role to the solutions. The study will be conducted in Barangay 663. The respondents are the households in the barangay and students that study near the area. This research is limited on suggesting solutions to help the problems that the community is facing. The researcher does not discuss all about the Republic Act 9003. However, the researchers would provide information on how the awareness of the household to waste affects their course of action to the problem.
Significance of the Study The significance of this study is to broaden the knowledge or educate and awareness of the people who involved or who may involve in the community about the effects of improper disposal of waste in the community. To critically study and analyze the situation that provides effective solution regarding disposal of waste in the baranggay that may lead to any various effects to the community that affects the everyday lives of the people surrounds the community and that can also resulted to unhealthy living. Moreover, through
Waste is a world-wide problem, with food waste being the main contender. In the United
Wasting is something we’re all fond of doing; it has become a very popular issue in my city. Whether arising from lack of time to consume, or greed driven. The council is stopping land fill, and having household waste collected in groups i.e. Glass, metal, food waste, plastic and paper. This assures quick delivery to recycling plants to be materially
Recycling is presently one of the most controversial topics, considering that while most individuals put across their support regarding the act the number of individuals who actually do something in order to recycle is much smaller. Many people are currently unable or unwilling to recycle properly because the process often requires a series of changes in one's life. It is thus essential for the authorities to provide educational programs meant to assist individuals in understanding why recycling is important and in learning how to recycle effectively. People need to accept the fact that the benefits of recycling will reflect on the future and that conditions are currently critical as a result of the fact that the masses are generally unacquainted with the importance of this process.
Today’s population being a waste generation is difficult to derive from the definition of dumpster. In addition, the motivation to capitalize such a simple word as “dumpster” seems absurd. In other terms, this essay did not establish educated ethos like that of the first essay.
Pollution is an issue that could potentially cause damage and recycling conveys an important role. An issue we currently phase is trash segregation, students aren’t recycling or separating trash as they should. As mentioned earlier, mindset is just as important as action - they have careless, ignorant mentalities. What my project proposes, are two main part the action and the mentality transformation. The action idea is to develop as community service recicle trashcans with that from the outside look the same as what its entering in them, an example could be a trash can full that physically look like a plastic bottle, so students only troth there there plastic
From that “. . . cheese with a spot of mold” to that “. . . half jar of peanut butter” (64). Furthermore, I think that if people read this essay they may realize that some of the stuff they call trash is actually not trash at all. This essay personally made me become more thankful that I don’t have to dumpster dive just to be able to eat. Likewise, I began to understand that I and others “throw away perfectly good stuff” that really shouldn’t be in the trash (64). By making an effort to reduce my waste, I will reduce my ecological footprint on the earth and ultimately leave more resources for further
Background: Trash continues to increase, as the world continues to last. Easy disposable products such as water bottles and soda cans has led to increasing amount of pollution around the world.
The uncollected waste in these informal settlements had become crucial and major concern for the local authorities responsible for public health. In addition, the uncollected waste made the environment filthy and dirty, which led to outbreaks of water-borne diseases and created a general deterioration of the environment (Mwaura, 1991, p.35). Houses in Armall were
“There has been great progress within this community in the amount of materials diverted from the landfill for reuse and recycling. I ask people, often students, do you know what happen to you trash. If not, find out. Think about where it goes and when you are done, and whether you wants piles and piles of trash everywhere. Don’t think someone else is going to do it. Know that you can do it, and when you do, it sets an example for others to follow”, she

(Amaral). The lack of proper disposal of trash is contributing to the existing problem of plastic pollution. Without changing our habits, the garbage patch will only continue to grow (Kostigen).
Preview: I have decided to research food waste that exists in our world. First I will talk about the problem of food waste and how it affects everyone. Second I will be talking about how the food waste is being done at an alarming rate. Lastley I will talk about solutions to this problem.
The average resident produces seven and a half pounds of garbage every day that is buried down in landfills and litters lands costing a great amount of money. Nowadays, people face no more critical trouble than the need to save the weakening environment, mainly in urban areas, where solid wastes are uselessly dumped. It has been observed that cities have no controlled structure for garbage disposal. Each year, millions of dollars are spent picking up litter and more is thrown away in valuable materials that could be recycled. As humanity develops new technology and equipment, the level of waste increases every day. Due to the fact that there is a huge problem with garbage disposal, government representatives must contribute to resolving
We, humans, are producing waste every day, polluting and destroying our planet. To save the world, many people believe recycling is the obvious solution. It is the process of converting certain waste into a reusable material. Therefore, the recycle motto is “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle”. However, have you ever wondered why the word recycle is placed at the end? Well, it’s because it is not the only way to reduce waste and save the world from global warming. Recycling may have many advantages, but its disadvantages’ list is not a short one either. Recycling may look very simple and easy method, but when there is a need for a new unit of waste recycling, it takes up a lot of space. Not to mention the amount of money the building costs along with paying the staffs, buying new utility vehicles, upgrading the recycling unit and different types of chemical disposals. It is not only expensive but also, unhygienic, unsafe and unsightly with piles of waste materials on every location. These wastes spread infectious diseases putting human health at risk. Aside from recycling
My main concern about waste disposal is toward poverty. In every society, for it to work effectively the waste disposal has to be handled properly. The lack of proper waste disposal can contribute for the underdevelopment of the community. For instance, in poorer community that does not have resources to dispose of the trash properly create a series of problems. For example, when there are a lot of trashes in a community, it will prevent investors to invest in a community, the housing market, schools and stores will decline, in consequence the houses will loose its value. This will create a ripple effect because people will start immigrating toward a better place where it is much cleaner. Families will try to move to a better place where their kids can have a better future. I ask myself who wants to live in a dirty environment? I hope nobody. That’s why I believe that the government should help the poorest communities about the ways to handle waste disposal, and better educate them about recycling.
