How Will You Promote Waste Management In Tourist Spots?

Everyone loves a long vacation. Some like walking around a beachside area while others enjoy life on mountains more. Once a year, visiting new places relieves all of us from our everyday routines, job pressures, and so forth. We enjoy a lot and feel immense peace after visiting our dream destination. However sadly, only a few of us care for nature while enjoying their holidays. Many people tend to ignore their responsibility towards waste management at tourist places. However, somebody has to think over it now and then.

So, what can we do to promote proper waste management at these tourist places?

Let’s explore a few things below:

Arrange dry and wet garbage bins

Arranging dry and wet garbage bins from place to place help a lot for the effective segregation of junk. Such a step helps people to put wastage in the right bins. This simplifies the process of managing garbage at the next stages as well. Also, this safeguards the natural beauty of places and keeps the place clean.

Start composting

A huge quantity of food is left by tourists at restaurants in tourist places. If these leftovers are not disposed of well, they slowly decompose and emit harmful greenhouse gases. Gases like methane act as a silent killer in the environment. Restaurants, resorts, and hotels can adopt various composting strategies to naturally decompose kitchen leftovers and meals left by customers.

Use reusable plates

Using reusable plates, bowls & containers made up of steel, glass, aluminum instead of paper plates eliminates the quantities of everyday garbage. Generally, when food is served to customers in paper plates, irresponsible tourists tend to throw used plates anywhere on the beach, greener places or roadside areas. This increases the burden to collect trash, increases the extra costs and moreover harms the beauty of scenic places.

Avoid the use of paper

Generally paper is compostable, therefore its recommended to make more use of paper instead of plastic. Although, it is recommended not to avoid the use of paper packagings, paper plates at tourist destinations. Some tourists throw paper plates anywhere once they finish eating.

Such thrown paper plates often take a reasonable period of time to decompose. Also, there are chances that it may include leftover food particles which may release toxic methane gas while decomposing. When paper trash is thrown on the beach, it pollutes the water and seashore.

Restaurants can also serve hot water bowls to wash hands instead of tissue papers. This will help to avoid the use of paper and will save water as well. All these small changes minimize junk and preserve the beauty of natural places.

Impose fines

There are always some tourists who throw litter anywhere, are stubborn, and pollute the environment. Imposing a fair amount of fine on them will reduce the habit of throwing litter anywhere on the streets. Ultimately, it will preserve the natural beauty of tourist locations. Even though it's a bit of strict action, but it will penalize the wrong actions and preserve the environment.

Conclusion:

In India, there are a few waste management facilities currently available at tourist locations. The local people living in tourist places may not be able to manage garbage at large. Therefore big restaurants, hotels can take this responsibility for handling garbage. As told above, they can collect garbage and recycle it as much as possible. This will reduce garbage creation.

Hotels and big restaurants can also install waste composting machine or organic waste composter machine-like Goldust on their premises to decompose green trash efficiently. Goldust decomposes organic waste naturally and gives manure. This manure can be used in gardening and farming in hotel areas and other local areas. The whole process of decomposition is odorless, noiseless, and maintenance-free.
