Some people claim that not enough of the waste from homes is recycled. They say that the only way to increase recycling is for governments to make it a legal requirement.
 To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste?

It is true that we do not recycle enough of our household

waste

.

Although

I accept that new legislation to force people to recycle could help

this

situation, I do not agree that a recycling

law

is the only measure that governments should take. In my opinion, a new recycling

law

would be just one possible way to tackle the problem. Governments could make it a legal obligation for householders to separate all

waste

into different bins. There could be punishments for people who fail to comply with the

law

, ranging from a small fine to community service, or even perhaps prison sentences for the repeated breach. These measures would encourage people to obey the recycling

law

.

As a result

, the improved behaviours of the householders could lead a cleaner,

waste

-free environment.

However

, I believe that the governments should do more than introducing a recycling

law

. It might be more effective if politicians put education, rather than punishment, at the centre of a recycling campaign.

For example

, children could be taught about recycling in schools, and householders could be informed about the environmental impact of not recycling. Another tactic governments could use would be to create stricter regulations for the companies that produce the packaging for products.

Finally

, the money could

also

be spent to improve recycling facilities and systems, so that

waste

is processed more effectively, regardless of whether or not people separate it correctly. In summary, perhaps we do need to make recycling a legal requirement, but

this

would certainly not be the only way to encourage people to dispose
