Nowadays, we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can governments do to help to reduce the amount of rubbish produced?

It is a true that today, too much litter has been produced by us. There are several reasons for

this

problem

, and various measures can be taken by the governments and individuals to improve the situation. At the outset, the most likely culprit here is the modern c

osumeristic

world. To gain more profit, companies are producing products that have not been made to

last

; people are bound to throw the discarded items on the streets and likely to purchase the new ones. To cite an example from my own experience, recently I purchased a new watch as there was some

one that I brought just six months ago. The

problem

can

also

be attributed to over packing, Manufacturers tend to over pack their product not only for protection but

also

to make it more attractive. Customers allowed by the adverts, are likely to buy the products with unnecessary package material that would sooner or later end up in the garbage.

For instance

, electronic accessories purchased online are likely to be packed in bubbled plastics material, t

and cardboards, and these serve no other purpose.

However

, there are some workable solutions that can alleviate

this

Thus

, by c

combining

efforts, litter can be reduced to a great extent. Another effective measure could be imposing the quality checks on materials to be make sure to produce the products that

last

long. If q

products are sold to customers, they would purchase the products occasionally.

For example

, 2.5 tons of electronic waste

such

as computers and mobiles are found in the l

landfill

sites of Indian city Mumbai.

Therefore

, by taking these steps into practise can ensure less garbage. In conclusion, consumerism and over packaging appear to be at the root of

this

problem

.

However

, the issue can be resolved by collaborative efforts of both the governments and individuals.
