Solid Waste Management to Adapt Climate Change and Global Warming

Purpose
In developing country like Nepal, solid waste management has been a serious problem and we see throwing of household solid waste here and there in roads. Solid waste produce methane gas which is GHGs, causing global warming and climate change. So main purpose of project is to reduce emission of methane gas in local level in Rampur Village,Chitwan district,Nepal.My general purpose during project will be
1) To raise awareness in local peoples about climate change
2) To adapt with climate change by management of solid waste, establishing biogas plant from solid waste and incorporating organic wastes in agriculture fields.

Implementation
I will choose 10 houses randomly in way that 1 house can use wastes produced by neighbouring for collection. Thus collected wastes will be used as fuel in biogas plant, because I will establish a low cost biogas plant. Thus generated biogas can be used to cook food and lighten lamps reducing dependence upon gas retailers. In addition, houses will be educated towards better compost formation. Thus made compost will be used in field as an additive to inorganic fertilizers so that adverse effect of climate change on soil by increasing microbiological activities, can be nullified. In addition peoples especially women of the village will be made educated about solid waste management and its sustainable management in relevance to climate change so that every family can learn about this and they start to adopt it.

Expected Achievements
1) At least, research houses will start to produce electricity from solid wastes and organic manures from wastes will be used in agriculture.
2) Dependency upon gas retailers will be certainly minimised and problem of load shedding will be solved by introducing clean energy technique.
3) Other village members will also start to do same practice.
4) Production of vegetable and other crops will be increased with use of manure.
5) Methane production will be reduced in local level and income will also be generated.
Plan to measure the outcome
1) Production of electricity and dependency on gas retailers, increase in production of crop and status of other villagers will be measured by observation and questionnaire.
2) Methane is not emitted to atmosphere by this method but gas will be used to light lamp and to cook food.
