The Problem and Its Setting

Introduction
According to UNEP (2011: 292), “every year, an estimated 11.2 billion tons of solid waste

are collected worldwide and decay of the organic proportion of solid waste is contributing to about

5 per cent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions” which in turn accelerates climate change.

Clark and Matharu (2013: 66) insist that “the planet currently generates approximately 1.3Gt of

solid waste per year, which is expected to increase to 2.2Gt by 2025.”This huge amount of waste

is a problem, and the question is how to deal with this waste crisis. Waste management is crucial

to reducing the negative impacts of waste on the environment, and its consequences to human

beings. It is the goal of waste management to treat waste in a safe and proper manner, in order to

minimize harm or damage to the environment. Disposal methods such as landfilling are directly

related to human health issues, as well as the environment. For instance, UNEP (2011: 302) blames

landfills for generating methane as “the largest source of GHG emissions, caused by the anaerobic

degradation of organic material in landfills and unmonitored dumpsites.” Like this, waste

management is deeply connected to consumption, resource utilization, environmental problems,

and human health.

From time immemorial, humans and animals have used the resources of the earth to support

life and dispose of wastes. In those days, the disposal of human and other wastes did not pose any

spectacular problem as the population was limited and the area of land available for the

assimilation of such waste was unlimited. Many countries is having problems with their proper

waste disposal because they are having trouble in implementing their rules in waste management.

Some likes proper disposal of the garbage’s or trashes, they believe that proper management of
waste can have great impact to their home, to their surroundings, and to the community they are

living. Also they want cleanliness to their environment so they properly enjoy managing every

waste they in their homes. Proper management of waste can boost the image of the particular

person, school, and in school or campuses. However, today, utmost importance is being given

across the globe to this burgeoning problem of solid wastes. Rapid population growth and

uncontrolled industrial development are seriously degrading the urban and semi urban

environment in many of the world’s developing countries, placing enormous strain on natural

resources and obstructing efficient and sustainable development.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to discover and answer the following:

1. Does students follow the Waste Management Policy?

2. What is the effect of having Waste Management Policy?

3. Is Waste Management important to the Students?

Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis

Waste Management Policy don’t have an importance to Wright National High

School Students

Alternative Hypothesis

The Waste Management Policy is having a great results and impact to the Students

of Wright National High School

Theoretical Framework

This study aims to know the impact of Waste Management Policy implemented by the

Municipality, where the school Wright National High School is standing.
