Please Read this text and Answer The Questions based on the text!Domestic Waste in Our Daily Life Domestic waste is the type of waste produced from our homes every day. It comes from daily activities such as cooking, eating, cleaning, and shopping. Common examples of domestic waste include food scraps, plastic bottles, paper, cans, glass, and old clothes. If domestic waste is not managed properly, it can harm the environment and human health. Domestic waste can be divided into two types: organic waste and inorganic waste. Organic waste includes vegetables, fruits, leftover food, and dry leaves. It can decompose naturally and be processed into compost for plants. Inorganic waste includes plastic, glass, metal, and Styrofoam. These materials do not decompose easily and can stay in the environment for many years. Poor waste management can cause unpleasant smells, attract pests such as flies and rats, pollute rivers and land, and even cause flooding when garbage blocks drains. Plastic waste is especially dangerous because it can harm animals and pollute oceans. Everyone can help reduce domestic waste by practicing the "3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle". We should avoid using single-use plastics, reuse useful items, and recycle recyclable materials. By managing domestic waste responsibly, we can protect the environment, improve public health, and create a cleaner and healthier place for everyone. 1. What is domestic waste?2.
