MSW effect

Have you ever noticed what happens when you throw a litter or garbage on the ground? It creates a mess and looks really bad, right? Not only that, but it can also harm the environment and the animals living in it.

Now imagine if lots of people did this every day. The mess would get bigger and bigger, and it would become even more harmful. This is what scientists call the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Effect.

MSW refers to all the trash and garbage that is produced in towns and cities, including things like food waste, plastics, and paper. When people don't properly dispose of this waste, it can accumulate and cause problems for the environment, animals, and even people.

The MSW effect is the negative impact that this waste has on our planet. It can include pollution of water and air, harm to wildlife, and even contribute to climate change.

To combat this effect, it's important to recycle and properly dispose of our waste. This means throwing trash in designated bins, composting food waste, and reusing items whenever possible. By doing this, we can help reduce the MSW effect and keep our planet clean and healthy.
