While

it's true that to completely eradicate

this

problem it is necessary for large-scale companies to take initiative and rectify their policies regarding waste disposal but I think individually we can

also

contribute to the welfare of the environment. The way most people nonchalantly throw wrappers on the street and dispose of their plastics without recycling is completely an individual's flaw. ,

Also

most restaurants and hotels throw away their spoiled food on the streets or alleys is

also

a cause of pollution. Other than that, even if we talk about

I thoroughly believe that others will follow.
