Domestic waste can be separated into biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials. Non-biodegradable materials such as plastic, glass, metal scraps etc. are sent for recycling. Biodegradable wastes can be deposited in landfills and are converted into compost to be used as manure.

Excessive phytoplankton (organic pollutants such as leaves, grass trash etc.) present in water are biodegradable. Bacteria decompose these organic matters in water. During this process, when a large number of bacteria decompose these organic matters, they consume the dissolved oxygen in water. When the level of dissolved oxygen falls below 6 ppm the fish cannot survive.

The solar energy radiated back from the Earth's surface is absorbed by the greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, O3, CFCs) present near the Earth's surface.
They heat up the atmosphere near the Earth's surface and keep it warm. As a result of these, there is the growth of vegetation which supports life. In the absence of this effect, there would be no life for both plants and animals on the surface of the Earth.
