HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF IT? WEIRD RIGHT! BUT SOME MIGHT SAY “YES! JUST DO THAT” BECAUSE MOST LANDFILLS ARE OVERFILLED AND CAUSING POLLUTION WHICH WILL AFFECT THE COMING GENERATION AND THEIR LIFESTYLE.

FIRST OF ALL, LET’S SEE THE NUMBERS AND STATUS OF GARBAGE ALREADY PRESENT ON THE EARTH:
MORE THAN TWO BILLION METRIC TONS OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW) ARE GENERATED WORLDWIDE EVERY YEAR, AND THIS FIGURE IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE BY ROUGHLY 70% BY 2050.

IN INDIA, 620 LAKH TONS OF WASTE IS GENERATED EVERY YEAR. ABOUT 430 LAKHS TON IS COLLECTED THAT IS 70% AND ONLY 120 LAKH IS TREATED. AROUND 310 LAKH TONS ARE DUMPED IN LANDFILL SITES.

I GUESS YOU HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT MUCH WASTE WE GENERATE

SO HOW CAN WE SEND GARBAGE TO SPACE?

USING ROCKETS WITH HIGH PAYLOAD CAPACITY WE HAVE TO BUILD HEAVIER ROCKETS BECAUSE YOU CAN’T LAUNCH ONLY A FEW TONS OF GARBAGE IN ONE GO. YOU HAVE TO FILL MAXIMUM GARBAGE IN THE ROCKET FOR THE SINGLE FLIGHT.

INTO THE SPACE? IT MEANS OUR GARBAGE WILL BE ORBITING AROUND THE PLANET ALL THE TIME?
NOPE! NOT EXACTLY SOME SUGGESTIONS DO SAY TO LAUNCH ALL THE GARBAGE INTO THE SUN STRAIGHT AWAY.

SO TO DO THAT WE HAVE TO USE LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL TO LAUNCH IT OUT OF EARTH’S GRAVITATIONAL PULL AND FOR THE FURTHER JOURNEY TO THE SUN.
ALSO, WE CAN’T GET OUR ROCKET BACK ONCE IT’S BEEN LAUNCHED. THE SUN WILL GULP IT EVEN BEFORE IT REACHES ITS DESTINATION.

HENCE, AGAIN WE HAVE TO MAKE MORE AND MORE ROCKETS TO LAUNCH OUR GARBAGE. THIS WILL INCREASE THE COST OF THE WHOLE THING.

DO WE HAVE OUR COAST CLEAR IN SPACE?

MANAGING ALL THE BUDGET, IMAGINE WE SUCCESSFULLY CAME TO THE DAY OF LAUNCH. BUT CAN WE DO IT EASILY? NAH! NOPE! NADA!

CURRENTLY THERE ARE ABOUT 2000 ACTIVE SATELLITES ORBITING THE EARTH. THERE ARE ALSO 3000 DEAD SATELLITES ORBITING AS SPACE JUNK ALREADY.
NONETHELESS, 34,000 PIECES OF SPACE JUNK LARGER THAN 10 CENTIMETRES IN SIZE AND MILLIONS OF SMALLER PIECES CAN BE SUPER DANGEROUS TOO.
HUSHHH ….
SO DO YOU STILL THINK WE CAN EASILY DUMP OUR GARBAGE INTO THE SPACE?

I BELIEVE, WE HUMANS SHOULD TREAT OUR OWN GARBAGE HERE ON THE EARTH, RATHER THAN DISTURBING THE PURITY OF THE UNIVERSE AS WELL.

WE AS HUMANS ONE DAY HAVE TO GO INTO SPACE FOR OUR SHELTER TOO. ON EARTH CONSIDERING CLIMATIC CHANGES IN THE EARTH WE ARE GOING TO OUR PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM SOON. HENCE UNDERSTANDING THESE ISSUES I GUESS FOLLOWING SOME DISCIPLINE WILL MAKE OUR FUTURE BETTER.
