How Proper Waste Management Makes Us All Healthier

Hey everyone! our founder Abdulazeez has a message for you on this World Health Day

As a pharmacist, preventing illness and keeping people healthy is what gets me going. This World Health Day, I want to talk about something that might surprise you: waste management. Yes, you read that right!

Think about it for a second. We all know a clean environment is good for the planet, but did you know it is directly linked to our health too? Imagine overflowing streets and landfills?—?breeding grounds for disease-carrying pests and potential contamination of our precious water supply. Not exactly a recipe for a healthy community, right? Probably not fully convinced, see this video by the World Economic Forum or this video from the World Bank.

Well, here is the good news: proper waste management is like a superhero for our health! How?

Remember that time you got the flu? No fun, right? Well, responsible waste management helps prevent the spread of diseases like cholera by keeping waste contained and disposed of properly. And let’s not forget the air we breathe. The WEF video even explains it more. Decomposing waste releases harmful gases that contribute to respiratory illnesses. By managing waste responsibly, we can breathe easier?—?literally!

So, how can we be champions for good health through waste management? Here at Wasty Wealth, we are on a mission to do just that. But here is the thing, folks?—?it is a journey, and we can’t do it alone. There are simple steps we can all take:

• Embrace Recycling & Composting: Separate your waste! Not only does it reduce landfill burden, but it creates valuable resources like compost.
• Reduce, Reuse, Repeat: Opting for reusable bags, water bottles, and other items helps us generate less waste in the first place.
• Spread Awareness: The more people who understand the connection between waste and health, the greater the positive impact we can have.

This Day reminds us that our environment and our health are the same. Responsible waste management is not just good for the planet, it creates a healthier world for all of us. We have got to prioritize it every single day!
