Background of the Study
Sustainable waste management is a critical environmental challenge in many parts of Nigeria, including Zing LGA, Taraba State. Poor waste disposal practices contribute to environmental degradation, pollution, and health risks for local populations. Advertising can play an influential role in encouraging sustainable waste management practices, such as recycling, proper waste segregation, and the reduction of single-use plastics. Research by Yusuf et al. (2023) demonstrates that advertising campaigns focused on environmental issues can raise awareness, shift public attitudes, and promote positive behavior changes. This study will explore how advertising can promote sustainable waste management practices in Zing LGA, Taraba State, by assessing the role of different advertising methods in influencing the community's waste management behaviors.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
In Zing LGA, improper waste disposal and lack of awareness about sustainable waste management continue to be significant environmental issues. Despite efforts to improve waste management practices, there is limited success in encouraging widespread adoption of sustainable methods. Advertising has the potential to drive change by educating the community about the environmental benefits of waste management and providing practical guidance on how to implement such practices. However, there is a lack of research on how advertising influences waste management behaviors in this region. This study seeks to fill that gap by examining the role of advertising in encouraging sustainable waste management practices in Zing LGA.
