Did you know that Singaporeans threw away 2.8 million tons of rubbish in 1999? You do now.
But if that was 10 years ago, when Singapore had much lesser people, can you imagine how much is thrown away today? 2.8 million tons if stacked up to 1.7m can occupy 350 football fields!! Whats more, Singapore hasnt got enough land to keep up at this rate. Throwing away rubbish rather than recycling is one of the main causes of land pollution in Singapore!
Other causes of land pollution in Singapore include littering, illegal dumping of domestic waste and poor waste management by construction sites and industrial estates. Even though 'No littering' signs have been placed everywhere in Singapore, Singaporeans still do not care and continue littering. We shall address these people as "Litterbugs". Singaporeans need to understand the seriousness of land pollution. Being a small nation, we will soon run out of land if this continues.
Love the world,
