"Nowdays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can governments do to help reduce the amount of rubbish?"

Essay:

In the 21st century, we are more affluent than ever before. As a result, many people spend money on unnecessary goods, some of which are hardly ever used and thrown away in the trash bin. The amount of rubbish we produce is increasing due to the following reasons:

First of all, people are now wealthier than ever before and therefore, they spend money on goods and items that make them happy. For example, many people buy more clothes and shoes than they neeed and some rich people have a wide range of clothes and shoes that are barely used. This spending habit is often driven by consumerism in society, which encourages and lures people into buying excessive amounts of products. People are often attracted by luxurious accessories and clothes worn by celebrities.

Secondly, we are producing more rubbish because of trade with other nations and an economic theory that claims supply creates demand. In wealthy countries, a lot of products are usually imported from developing nations where labour is cheap. Therefore, people in wealthy nations can buy products cheaper than they would have been than if they were pruduced in their country.

There are several actions that governments can take to help reduce the amount of rubbish. Governments can implement a policy that restricts the amount of rubbish individuals and corporates can dispose of per week. For example, if the maximum amount of rubbish they can throw is 2 rubbish bins per week, they will be fined if they do not comply with the rule.

Furthermore, governments can make campaigns that raise awareness about the amount of rubbish we produce, and  the consequences of producing excessive rubbish and how harmful it can be to our environment. In addition, government can limit the amount of products coming into their countries from outside by placing quotas on certain products that tend to become rubbish quickly.

When I was young, I was told by my teacher not to throw away my school uniform, but instead give it to other students. This helped reduce the amount of school uniform waste.

In conclusion, there are many reasons why we are producing more rubbish these days. However, if governments implement policies appropriately and in a timely manner, the amount of rubbish will be reduced.

[Excellent work.]
