SDGs

SDG 12 stands for Sustainable Development Goal: Responsible Consumption and Production. SDG 12 aims to reduce waste generation through the 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). It aims to ensure sustainable management of natural resources, encourages people and companies to participate for it's environmental impact, and promotes public awareness about sustainable lifestyles. It is a goal made to balance between economic growth and protecting the planet by making sure we use resources responsibly and minimize harm to the environment.

SDG 12 is important because it promotes using resources efficiently, reducing waste, and encouraging sustainable practices. Without SDG 12, environmental damage would increase, leading to deforestation from the overuse of resources. Pollution would rise due to unchecked production and consumption, resulting in more plastic waste, food loss, and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, pollution and unsafe production methods could harm public health and cause economic instability, leading to price spikes and supply chain disruptions.
