These days people in some country are living in a "throw-away" society which mean people use things in a short time then throw them away. What are its causes and what are its problems? What could be done to address this issue?

Nowadays, we have adopted the throw-away

lifestyle

and over-consumption and excessive production of short-lived or disposable items is a global phenomenon which is making the condition even worse. Consumerism, rapid advancement of technology, changing

lifestyle

and globalisation are some of the main reasons which are contributing to

this

phenomenon even more. The effect of

this

trend is so extraordinary and deep that it will someday challenge our own existence and implementation of effective measures should be immediately taken. Our materialistic

lifestyle

fuels

this

habit and we change our cell phones, cars and other household equipment more frequently than ever. Advertising plays a major role in creating

this

type of society and we are never contented with the things we have and want to acquire more than we need.

Thus

we are producing an overwhelming amount of wastages and a little effort has been in place to recycle many of our used items. The rapid advancement of technology often forces us to buy

latest

Suggestion

the latest

products as new products have better features than the one we own. Our traditional

lifestyle

and skills are almost gone and we want to buy everything rather than creating them.

For instance

, the number of people who rely on canned and

packet

filled to capacity

packed

food rather than cooking at home is a great example that shows the detrimental shift towards a busy

lifestyle

. The problems that the throw-away society and consumerism tendency create extreme.

This

is a degradation of human moral as a massive number of poor people are starving, on one hand, million tonnes of foods are being wasted in

few countries

a few countries

on the other hand

. The toxic waste and chemical garbage are polluting our environment while we are remaining busy to buy more electronic products. The global warming, extinction of many species are just the beginning and if we fail to take effective measures to stop

this

prilious

fraught with danger

perilous

trend, we will be destroying our future. There are many steps that should be immediately in place to address

this

issue. Non-recyclable packets, bags and goods should be banned. The environment friendly goods should be manufactured and used by people. Every household wastes should be classified as recyclable and non-recyclable and recyclable waste should be used to produce new products rather than throwing them away. The government, as well as individuals should put in efforts to reduce the wastage production and to save the environment. To conclude, no doubt our ignorance and desire to have more have contributed towards the creation of a throwaway society. Advancement of technology, globalisation, have all

trend even faster. But the time has come for us to step forward and think about the future of the Earth and take steps to control the damage.
