Growing Production of Trash and Some Suggestions to the Govenments

Question:

Nowadays 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 produced?

Answer:

In recent years, the ever growing production of trash has become a global phenomenon and has been concerned by environmentalists all over the world. In this essay, I will explain the reason behind this increase and give some suggestions to the governments to handle this challenge.

On a simplistic level, this is due to the fast development of economy. With the economic boom around the world, factories are producing a significant amount of waste in manufacturing. Meanwhile, households tend to buy more items and dump the old ones. However, this cannot completely explain this trend. Lack of awareness on the harmful results caused by over-production of waste also contributes much to it. It is human nature for everyone to be lazy and in favor of convenient items like plastic bags and disposable chopsticks.

Concerning the solutions, there is no silver bullet to solve this problem over night, but it is crucial that governments take appropriate actions. First of all, they should educate the general public to be more aware of this problem. They should ask scientists and experts to write papers and deliver speeches to reveal the harmful results caused by it by quoting statistics and reasons. In addition, they should encourage the use of renewable products and material efficient products by investing more money to the research and development, and its manufacturing industry. At the same time, they should discourage the use of over-packed items, disposable items by imposing more tax.

In conclusion, I think it is also the responsible of every individual to take efforts in reducing the production of rubbish in daily life.
