Actions taken

The writer worked with groups of people in a certain village, encouraging them to sort out rubbish before disposing of it (putting recyclable and reusable items into separate bins/containers). The writer informed the people about the advantages of recycling and proper waste disposal by giving them pamphlets containing the necessary information regarding the aforementioned matters and tips on how to reduce the amount of household waste. The people were asked to give their recyclable items to a recycling company. They were also encouraged to use their food waste as compost and given information on how to do so.
