I think it is true that in almost every country today each household and family produces a large amount of

 every week. Most of
this

 rubbish comes from the packaging from the things we buy,
such

 as processed food. But even if we buy fresh food without packaging, we still produce rubbish from the plastic bags used everywhere to carry shopping home. The reason why we have so much packaging is that we consume so much more on a daily basis than families did in the past. Convenience is

However

 is

 a result of our tendency to use something once and throw it away. We forget that even the cheapest plastic bag has used up valuable resources and energy to produce. We

 forget that it is a source of pollution and difficult to dispose of. I think,
therefore

, that governments need to raise
this

 awareness in the general public. Children can be educated about environmental issues at school, but adults need to take action. Governments can encourage
such

 action by putting taxes on packaging,
such

 as plastic bags, by providing recycling services and by thing households and shops that do not attempt to recycle their
