People nowadays are used to “throw away” items which means that they use them a in short time and throw it away. What do you think is the cause and the problems it may lead to?

We live in an age where people discard goods quickly. It has become a societal bad habit where its consequences are resulting in negative effects on both the environment and people. In

this

essay I will examine some results which lead to the problems created. People dump products mainly because early built-in obsolescence a deliberated design feature, We need only look at one

such

example that embodies a product built for very temporary life: the smartphone. Manufacturers on a nearly a yearly basis, bring out new models.

Then

, through clever advertising people are enticed to buy them. Let us consider the Apple company produces a new smartphone

this

month. It is normal that millions of customers will want to buy it as soon as possible,

this

leaves a deluge of unwanted old phones which might be resold or more probably discarded to waste disposal.

This

results in people subconsciously being cornered in consuming more than they need. Another problem is food packaging, which in general is often made from plastic or other man-made synthetic materials which are

firstly

difficult to organically break down and

furthermore

, bring great damage to the environment.

For instance

, one brought about by plastic bottles that have already caused irreparable damage to ocean-life and reefs.

Therefore

If people continue to throw things away in high volume, only

further

harm will be done. In conclusion, the so-called throw away society is a creation generated by both manufacturer's turning out short-lifespan products, compounded by over-packaging and decades of advertising in conditioning people's attitudes for easy gratification. As can be seen, if

this

behaviour continues,

then

the cost imposed on the environment will only grow more precarious.
