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?

It is true that the amount of waste produced in the world has gone upwards. It is my understanding that

this

is happening because of increased production brought upon by consumerism and not enough recycling. With proper policies framed and publicized by the government, a reduction of the same can be achieved. As there is a sharp rise in consumerism, we are using more and recycling less resulting in increased wastage. As people nowadays are buying products at a rate unprecedented, companies are producing at larger volumes resulting in abundant products in the market. Due to

this

we buy more than we actually consume throwing the rest in the trash. Because of the belief that there is plenty more, we don’t recycle,
