2. Environmental Degradation:
Climate Change: When people cultivate the habit of nkg managing their wastes properly, it contributes to global warming.
Acts that can contribute to global warming are:
i. Bush burning.
ii. Release of greenhouse gas.Biodiversity Loss: When our environment is poluted or when our natural habitat is destroyed, the animals and plants in that environment suffer.
3. Impacts on the Economy:
