[IELTS] Do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste? As global warming and weather changing become more and more seriously, thought of garbage recycling has been risen up by people and governments in the few decades. Punishment to people who resist the laws related to environment and recycling has been taken for governments in lots of countries, and I believe it is still the most efficient way to keep encouraging people recycle more of their waste. For instance, people who don’t follow recycling instruction from governments correctly would be fine in Taiwan, and this kind of laws have been considered as an efficient way among governments and people to increase recycling. Some of my friends and elder in my family have started to do recycling to prevent from being punished. On the other hand, I think the way to increase recycling is not only making it legal, I would highly recommend that though of recycling needs to be taught since childhood. It is always prevention better than punishment. In Taiwan, children would start to learn the way to do recycling in first grade in elementary school which is one of responsibility to teacher. For example, they would be told rubbish could be separated into paper, plastic, canned and general waste based on the rules from governments. To sum up, punishment to people who don’t obey the laws would be the most efficient way generally. But also, education of recycling is also important to build up sense of environmental moral, and it needs to be taught since they are children.
