After food and clothing, what Man needs most is shelter. A home is a dream for many. Some people save every penny they earn to build a home. Home is the symbol of safety, comfort and support. The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day to meditate on the state of our homes, towns and cities. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the basic right of all people for adequate shelter.
The theme of the World Habitat Day of 2018 was regarding Municipal Solid Waste Management. One of the chief concerns of town dwellers is how to dispose garbage. There was a concerted effort to raise awareness regarding promoting innovative solutions to municipal solid waste management, facilitating policy dialogues and forming partnerships among communities for mobilizing resources to address the municipal solid waste challenges.
The World Habitat Day reminds us that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our homes, cities and towns
