In many places, waste is everywhere.
People avoid it and complain about it.
But what one person throws away, another can turn into money.

Reality Snapshot:
Some people collect plastic bottles, wash them, and sell to recyclers.
What others see as dirt becomes daily income.

Try This Today:
Pick one type of “waste” around you (plastic, unused items).
Collect and resell or repurpose it.
Lesson: Nothing is useless until it is ignored.
