Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can government do to reduce the amount of rubbish produced? Give reasons for your answers and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience

Recently, there has been an alarming increase in the amount of

waste

we are generating as a society. One of the main reasons why

this

bad habit is on the rise, is that people are now becoming more wasteful and things are now cheaper.

This

is challenging for every

government

, but I believe that instructing schools to start educating children about the importance and need of proper management of resources as well as increasing taxes of commonly disposed items will solve

this

problem. The primary reason why an average home is now producing more trash than before is solely because humans are now wasteful.

In other words

, we are likely to trash something rather than look for an alternative use for it. Because of the advancement in technology, most things are readily available so we no longer value them.

For instance

, in the past after peeling an orange and eating it, one can still use it to make juice

instead

of trashing them, but now we have all kinds of orange drinks available and

as a result

of

this

we no longer value them.

Furthermore

, another reason for

this

new development is that things are not as expensive as they use to be.

For example

, there was only one company that produces bottled water in Angola for several years, which make it quite expensive and

as a result

of

this

people

person

. People usually keep the bottle after drinking the water to serve another purpose like a juice container.

However

,

this

is no longer the case since we have a lot of factories now making bottled water and it’s now affordable by the masses. How can the

government

solve

this

problem?

Firstly

, they should encourage schools to start teaching children how not to

waste

things. They are the upcoming generation and starting with them is the very

first

step and

also

a long time solution to

this

issue.

Secondly

, the

government

should increase the taxes on the commonly wasted items as

this

will make people to be less wasteful and

this

money can

also

go into research on how to reduce

waste

in the community. To conclude, there is a significant amount of

waste

being generated by humans currently than we did decades ago and

this

because we are richer now and no longer appreciate things. The

government

can end all that by inflating the taxes on commonly wasted items and

also

educating the youngsters.
