  2. INFORMATION ABOUT MY COUNTRY

  3. Most important factors/initiatives behind the development of MSW recycling in Bulgaria A very large proportion of the municipal waste is landfilled in Bulgaria. The amount of municipal waste deposited into landfills was 98 % of the generated amount in 2010.  No material and organic recycling of municipal waste was reported in Bulgaria from 2001 to 2010. Packaging waste is not included in the reporting to Eurostat on the recycling of municipal solid waste in Bulgaria. Even if packaging waste would be included under the reporting of MSW recycling, it will require an exceptional effort for Bulgaria to fulfil the recycling target of 50 % by 2020.  Considering the trends in the development of the amounts of landfilled BMW from 2007 to 2010, substantial efforts will have to be undertaken if Bulgaria shall fulfil the 50 % and 35 % targets of the EU Landfill Directive for diverting biodegradable municipal waste from landfill by 2013 and 2020.  A landfill tax introduced in 2011 is envisaged to rapidly increase until 2014. Nevertheless the tax level is still considered as too low to effectively contribute to reducing the amount of municipal waste being sent to landfill.  Mechanical biological treatment was introduced recently in Bulgaria. A National Strategic Plan for diversion of the biodegradable waste going to landfills 2010-2020 was adopted of late. The legal framework on bio-waste management is being developed under an international project.

  6. Human irresponsibility Consequences of irresponsible throwing of the waste • Litter can pose a threat to the health and well being of various animals: the stories about fish stuck in six-pack rings that blew into the water aren’t fictions. • Hazardous waste, if dumped into the environment, leeches into the ground – and the ground water. The ground water is used for lots of things you may not realize, including watering the local fields, which grow the food people eat. Oh, and most communities get their drinking water from down there, too. • As some waste decomposes, it releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The earth has more than enough of those already • Litter can pose a threat to the health and well being of various animals: the stories about fish stuck in six-pack rings that blew into the water aren’t fictions. • Hazardous waste, if dumped into the environment, leeches into the ground – and the ground water.

  8. I think Bulgaria is the most beautiful country in the world! But it is not the most unpolluted. Everyday I am a witness of the pollution in our country. A lot of people think land is just a landfill. They do not realize how dangerous is that- about them, about their children, about everybody in THE WORLD!

  9. My ideas for pure life • Separate and recycle your rubbish • Tell your friends and family about the consequences of irresponsible throwing of the waste • Use cartoon bags or cloth bags {my family and I do not throw plastic bags- we use them again and again and do not buy a bag every time when we go to the supermarket} • Use a reusable plastic or glass bottle and clean it every time when you go to school or work {you do not have to buy a PVC bottle of mineral water every day-save your money and earth ^_^} • Find out information about ecological campaigns on the Internet and try to apply for or make your own initiative with your friends and family. Use Internet to promote it! {not leaflets!!!!} • If you have possibility to buy products with special sign for recycling- it will be great,wont it?
