Waste segregation – modern urban lifestyle produces unimaginable amount of waster each year, while its not possible to recycle entire waste, We can still make waste management process more efficient by adopting waste segregation, wet waste specially food waste can be turned to into high quality fertilizers. While dry waste like plastic (at least some part of it) can be recycled into some other useful objects, segregation makes it easier to recycle. You can also adopt golden rule of RRR (reduce, reuse, recycle ).
