What are the ideas for reusing and recycling? In what ways can rural and middle class environment be educated in maintaining cleanliness? Global warming is continuously degrading the Earth. Garbage emission is one of the causes of global warming. Our objective is to find out how to prevent garbage emission from getting worse. We can contribute to prevent garbage emission by educating the rural and middle class environment on maintaining cleanliness, reusing and recycling waste. According to Shah, K. L. (2000) in his book entitled “Basics of solid and hazardous waste management” The more garbage you produce, the more your personal emissions of greenhouse gases will go up. The amount of garbage you produce affects your greenhouse gas emissions in a number of different ways. At the most basic level, everything you use, from food to paper to any type of consumer product takes energy to produce energy use that results in greenhouse gas emissions. When you put your garbage out at the curb, you are also "throwing out" this energy, and the greenhouse gas emissions from that energy use are included in your personal emissions total. When paper products are thrown out, in addition to the emissions from energy used to make them, we also count the effect on carbon dioxide of having to cut down the trees needed to make such
