Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can government do to reduce the amount of rubbish produced? Give reasons for your answers and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.

 

Modern days witness that humans produce rubbish at a monumental scale these days. It is happening owing to ill-human activities. I am of the opinion that by the imposition of stringent laws, the government can tackle this menace.  

To start with, unfriendly activities by humans are considered the main reasons behind this trouble that are composed of a number of weird habits. The primary reason is that almost every product we use is wrapped in plastic covers that are non-biodegradable for four centuries if goes unrecycled. End users utilise the product and discard plastic wrappers in trash bins since they believe in a throwaway culture.

The secondary reason is that a plethora of places lack proper waste infrastructure. In brief, nearly one-third of plastics are not collected by a waste management system and end up as litter in the world’s lands, rivers and oceans. As a result, this waste plastic interferes daily routine of people due to the fact the rubbish inclines. 

To get around this trouble, the authorities must impose strict rules and regulations. I believe that the first step should be announcing a complete ban on single-use plastic, and recently, the government of Punjab announced this ban since plastic is ruining this planet at jet speed. By doing so, we can get rid of single-use harmful plastic like straws, juice packs, and polythene carry bags. 

Moreover, the chair should implement recycling mechanisms, and people must be made aware of 3R such as Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Besides this, everyone should adopt composting because this process can reduce household waste generation by three in ten proportion.  

To conclude, people throw waste and pollute this environment since they are not careful in saving this ecosystem. Consequently, by penalising heavily such people and motivating them to believe in recycling, this issue can be forbidden by governments.
