What does solid waste pollution look like?

Frankly, my 
dear, what can 
we do about 
it?
• Carry your own bag with you when you go shopping 
• Say no to all plastic bags as often as possible 
• Reduce the use of paper bags also 
• Dig a compost pit in your garden and put all the 
biodegradables in it 
• When you go out do not throw paper and other 
wrappings or even leftover food here and there-put 
it in the garbage 
AND…
