Waste & waste water management

Waste Water management

• Countries already equipped with a good infrastructure will build “catchment basins” (storage capacity) to allow rainwater to be infiltrated in the ground to supply the groundwater tables and or retain it for future use;

• These catchment basins should be landscaped such that they attract all sorts of wildlife and stimulate hydrophytic vegetation;

• Straight ditches at the edge of fields / farmlands are to be re-landscaped into a meandering / sinusoidal layout whereby the area formed by the old straight ditch and the parallel of the top of the amplitude of the new meandering ditch covers at least 10% of each field / farmland surface;

• The discharge of waste waters of any kind by the industry or from households in rivers and the oceans is to be phased out by 2025;

• All waste waters are to be treated and purified and reused in one or another form by 2025.

• Massive injection of international funds into cleanup operations of the world most polluted rivers (Indus, Yellow, Hai, Nile, Meghna, Brahmaputra, Ganges, Pearl, Amur, Niger, Mekong) and other “hotspots”.

Waste management

No waste is to be exported to other countries.  Waste is to be managed in the country where it was “consumed” (where the goods were unpacked);

• Waste is not to be “dumped” in waste pits or burned at low temperatures without filtering dioxins and other dangerous gasses;

• Western countries will create a fund to clean up all the waste (dumps) they have had created in other countries. (sort out our mess we didn’t want to see). Especially, Europe is to clean up:

  • the different waste dumps in the South of Italy, in Calabria, “managed” by the local maffia;

  • waste dumps generated in Asia & Horn of Africa;

• Local populations “living“ on and from these waste dumps, to be given support in finding healthy jobs instead.
