Background: UN 2023 Water Conference – Side Event (Outside-UN) W-175, titled, “What is your commitment to the #WaterActionDecade? Seven core #WaterAction ideas toward #WaterAwareness, #WaterConscience and #GameChangers”  successfully delivered as in a three-folded event by LMGlobal.Org in NYC on March 21, 2023. #UN2023WaterConference
The core purpose of the #W175 side event is to contribute toward #WaterAwareness & #WaterConscience concepts on the local, national, and global levels through promoting and engaging with diverse communities and multi-stakeholders with seven (7) core #WaterAction Ideas, which are: 1. #WaterForestryClimateChange #StopConstantForestFires #ForestryForGroundwater #StopClimateEngineering #StopDeforestation 2. #MilitaryAccountabilityOnWater #GameChanger 3. #GrayWaterIsAMust #GreenWater 4. #WasteProcessorForOurPlanet #StopPlasticPollution 5. #WaterForALL #WaterForLife #DevelopmentNotAgainstPeopleWill 6. #WaterForInspiration #WaterInArts #WaterInPoetry #WaterForPeace 7. #WaterAwareness #WaterConscience.

WATER ACTION: WASTE PROCESSOR FOR OUR PLANET

TALKING POINTS

Waste Processing Today

As an imaginary idea and a complete alternate approach to the current recycling system in New York State, it is crucial to reevaluate our global waste management practices. It is unacceptable for any country to dump or sell its waste into nature, or to sell it to another country.

Unfortunately, in many countries, both developing and even developed countries, where waste management systems are lacking, the dumping of waste into nature is a common practice. It’s

concerning to know that even the most developed countries, including the US, UK, and Canada, continue to dump their nuclear, chemical, and plastic waste in other countries such as Turkey. This is why it’s essential to implement more sustainable and eco-friendly solutions to reduce waste and promote a cleaner environment.

Individualized Waste Processing

It’s alarming to know that even recycled materials are often merged back into landfills or dumped into water sources, ultimately leading to increased pollution. In my opinion, the key to resolving this issue lies in designing smart and intelligent waste processors that can efficiently handle all forms of waste.

Without such machines and infrastructure in place, it would be impossible to prevent the pollution of our groundwater and other water resources, including those contaminated with chemicals, plastics, food, cans, and industrial waste, as well as waste from military production.

To achieve this, we need to develop a system that includes waste processors in every home, street, residential building, government, business, and industrial site. These processors should be designed to be the size of a large laundry machine and equipped with a minimum of 4-5 different processing mechanisms to handle plastic, glass, cans/metal, vegetables/fruit, and other miscellaneous waste, turning it into a powder and/or grain that can be reused or safely disposed of.

Additional Ideas on Individualized Waste Processing

To achieve an effective and environmentally sustainable waste processing system, it’s crucial to connect each output from the waste processors to infrastructure that can deliver it to an industry/factory for reproduction, reducing the need for new materials and minimizing waste. This will require mandatory policies and city planning to ensure something similar to that internet/cable companies create underground pipelines to the targeted destinations. 

Whether it is a small or mega-city, each city in the world must be responsible for needed infrastructure and an utmost responsibility toward managing the waste processing system at large to prevent any plastic, glass, cans, chemicals, including vegetable waste or any other forms of to channeling those for reproduction in various forms, versus those from ending up in our water, ocean, and mountain lands. 

The ultimate goal of each city should be to develop and implement a needed infrastructure system in place, along with educating the public and promoting a cleaner and more sustainable environment for today and future generations. #WasteProcessorForOurPlanet
