Essay #515 pt.1 "Recycling" 17.06.19 Over recent decades the popularity of recycling has grown greatly and now we have almost all the facilities in order to make this process quite easy. This has happened partially because of the grows of production and therefore the litter people make, and partially because people get more information about this problem and many activist organization did a great job by teaching us about this issue. In my opinion this is a highly important thing and I even believe that this should be either compulsory or the government should put all their effort in order to separate and recycle litter by itself. The first problem is that people do not even understand how much litter they produce and which percentage of it can be degraded by itself. But there are many things that people throw out which can outlive them for ages, the thing which artists can only dream of. Thus, by improperly utilizing litter we leave an almost permanent mark on the face of earth, which would be great if this mark would be not so negative. Basically, this is similar to put a graffiti on a piece of art, this has absolutely no sense because this would not be beneficial for anyone, even for a person who did this. The main problem people faced before, is the fact that we cannot avoid plastic and most of products are wrapped in it heavily. Some manufactures try to decrease the use of non-biodegradable material in their products, which is a great tendency, however, not followed by everyone. Many special groceries have more success in this and they just imply that customers will bring their own bags with them, so they have no need to pack their goods. This not only makes products much cheaper, but also provides a highly beneficial effect on the environment.
