In Colombia, green trash cans are used to collect organic waste, such as banana peels and leftover food. However, many people don’t use them to separate organic waste, and they mix the organic waste with recyclable materials. So we are losing the opportunity of conserving the natural resources in the world.

Our responsibility is to reduce, reuse, and recycle. This includes doing the correct separation of domestic waste. Additionally, efficient waste collection allows people to use organic waste to fertilize the land and it helps improve air and water quality. Correct waste management can also help reduce the impact of global warming. For these reasons, I encourage you to do the correct waste separation to protect the environment.
