What are two ways this problem can be minimized?

1. Implementing stricter regulations and enforcement measures to prevent illegal dumping and littering in the affected areas. This could include increasing fines for those caught dumping waste illegally and increasing surveillance in known problem areas.

2. Increasing public awareness and education about the importance of proper waste disposal and the negative impacts of littering on the environment. This could involve community clean-up events, educational campaigns, and outreach programs to encourage responsible waste management practices.
