Effects and Causes of Human Waste Consumption
The Problem Tree visualizes the unknown side effects of human consumption of waste, detailing impacts on tourism, coastal economies, ecosystems, and climate change. The repercussions include ingestion, suffocation, and entanglement of various species, waste leakage into the environment and food chain, low recycling rates, challenges in waste collection and sorting, mismanagement at the source, and inadequate funding for recycling. Causes stem from fluctuating recycling prices, lack of waste separation at home, absence of proper recycling infrastructure and support for waste workers, and the absence of a formal government recycling department.

Solution Tree Reduced impacts on climate change Ends Decrease in waste leaking into the environment Solution Increased rate of recycling Waste is properly managed at the source Means People properly separate waste at home
