(Part Four)

A negative (1) consequence aspect of an increase in the sanitation fee is that it can get a worsen the problem of littering or illegal dumping. more serious.

Hi Waltz,

This is my final part on your writing: 

(1) I used "consequence" instead as it has the meaning of a result (i.e worsen the problem of littering or...) that is caused by an earlier situation (i.e increase in the sanitation fee...). In contrast, an "aspect" is a part of a problem or situation that we are focusing on. 

Examples: 

If we do not have strict laws protecting our environment (situation), one consequence would be widespread pollution (result). 

One aspect of environmental protection would be to look at how we educate our young about precious resources (There are many ways of protecting the environment, and today, we are focusing on education).

(2) I am not sure if "cracking down" is suitable here. For example, the police "cracks down" on illegal activities by dealing with offenders very strictly. Usually, these activities would be very rampant and the authorities would like to put a quick stop to them. Since you mentioned that the laws are being introduced in certain Japanese cities and the officers are starting to get strict, I decided to use "enforce" instead to mean that the authorities are trying to make sure everyone complies with the law.

(3) Here, you are using an conjunctive adverb (however). Conjunctive adverbs provide a smooth transition from one previous idea to a current one. 

If your conjunctive adverb is used between two main clauses, use a semicolon (;) before "however".

Example: We would like to start (main clause 1); however, the crew has not arrived (main clause 2). 

The conjunctive adverb can also be used within a main clause. In this case, use a comma (,) before "however".

Example: We would like to start (main clause 1). The crew, however, has not arrived (main clause 2). 

I hope this helps you. 

(Part Three)

Hi Waltz,

I have some suggestions for part three of your writing: 

(1) We can use the word "imposing" to refer to a compulsory requirement to pay for something (e.g. services, fine), usually by the authorities or someone with a mandate. 

(2) We use the present perfect tense (i.e. has shown) here because the research finding was showed in the past but the effect of that finding is still ongoing (60% of every household was found in the past to throw out recyclable materials.Now, 60% of these household still do so.)

(3) We try to standardise our use of words or numbers (e.g 6 out of every 10 / six out of every ten).

(4) We use "contain" to mean that something is placed in a large container or space. In this case, recyclable materials are found in garbage bags. We use "include" to say that we consider something to be part of something else (e.g Shall we include a dessert for our dinner?)

(5) We do not use "the" for Japan as it is already a proper noun (e.g Japan is a beautiful country (correct) // The Japan is a beautiful country (wrong). However, we use "the" for "Japanese" because we are using "Japanese" as an adjective to refer to a group of people. 

Another example: The poor (adjective describing a group of people) in our society deserves our help. 

(6) We use "among" here to refer to a comparison between nations. 

Example: There will be a champion among all of you. 

I hope this helps you. 

(Part Two)

Hi Waltz, 

I think this move will generate an awareness of the amount of garbage that is being thrown out daily which is a good thing. 

Some suggestions for your writing: 

*The word "we" already refers to mankind or human beings, so I have deleted "human beings" for you. 

^ We can use "more" as a comparative adjective to mean a greater quantity of a noun (i.e. garbage). Alternative, we can use "much" to mean a great quantity or degree of a noun. Lastly, we can put "much" and "more" together to emphasise the great magnitude of increase in something (i.e. much more). 

** You can use a dash (—) to elaborate on something that you have previously mentioned or to give some examples. 

^^ The phrases "xxx times that of" and "xxx times as much as" are used for comparison. Take a look at the examples below: 

"The unemployment rate of city A is four times that of city B."

"The unemployment rate of city A is four times as much as city B."

This means the unemployment rate of city A is four times higher than city B. 

I hope this helps you. 

The Trend Toward Charging for Waste Disposal in Japan

--

A negative aspect of an increase the fee is that it can get a problem of littering or illegal dumping more serious.
As a matter of fact, cracking down on them by officers is getting strict: however, there is no end to irresponsible waste disposal not only industrial waste, but also household waste.
Considering the administrative costs, we may have to pay more in near future.

(Part One)

The Trend Toward Charging for Waste Disposal in Japan

At the current rate, it has been thought is estimated that in less than 50 years,  it will be over the capacity of these plants will not have the capacity to handle the huge volume of garbage collected. no more than 50 years.

Then, As a result, many municipalities started charging residents sanitation fees. to citizens. In many cases, people residents pay them as the cost of dust for garbage bags, and deposit them at a nearest designated garbage station. which is designated by each city, to put it out to the nearest garbage station.

There are significant differences in the sanitation fees gaps of the price between of different cities ** — prices of garbage bags in cities that impose sanitation fees can be ten times ^^that of / ten times as much as cities that do not.  so it is also cases that the bag's price of cities that started measuring of waste is 10 times as much as that of cities that didn't yet.
