Question

1. what does effective waste management aim to achieve? a. environmentally responsible disposal of waste b. increased deforestation c. higher urban population density d. greater use of non - biodegradable materials

Explanation:

Effective waste management focuses on handling waste in a way that minimizes negative environmental impacts. Option a describes environmentally responsible disposal, which aligns with waste management goals. Options b (deforestation), c (urban population density), and d (non - biodegradable materials) are not goals of waste management; in fact, waste management aims to reduce issues like deforestation (if related to waste - related land use), avoid promoting non - biodegradable materials, and population density is unrelated to waste management's aims.

Answer:

a. Environmentally responsible disposal of waste
