Many people say that we have developed into a “throw-away” culture, because we are filling up our environment with so many plastic bags and rubbish that we cannot fully dispose of. To what extent do you agree with this opinion and what measures can you recommend reducing this problem ?

In the contemporary era, there have been lots of modifications and amendments made into laws and regulations in order to maintain the natural resources and
environment
Suggestion
the environment
. One
such
measure as enforced by law is the throw-away culture being recently adopted by people.
This
method has been adopted as a rudimentary necessity since more than 60% of the earth’s space can be seen completely occupied by litter and garbage consisting of especially
plastic
bags which do not decompose easily. I am strongly in favour of
this
opinion and believe that
such
stern methods are required to maintain the existing resources and
environment
Suggestion
the environment
. To embark upon, we usually see people using
plastic
bags
instead
of paper bags for the purpose keeping their durables or groceries etc.
Nevertheless
, these
plastic
bags are not easily decomposed and affects our oceans, especially aquatic species, resulting in extinction of natural habitat, its flora and fauna and ultimately having a vital influence on the overall
environment
cycle.
Additionally
, increase in
plastic
bags and litter is on account of a rise in population, which in turn results in increased pollution. One classic example is India, which is one of the most populated country. In India at-least 50% of the population are illiterate and work in factories as labour. These people throw all the rubbish extracted from commercial areas or factories into rivers and oceans and
therefore
impacts the water bodies. Apart from illiterate people, throwing of
plastic
bags is
also
widespread among educated people so as to remove the multifarious garbage accumulated around their houses. Despite so many repercussions and causes of
use
of
plastic
bags and rubbish since those are not fully disposed of, I adamantly believe that
this
threat can be tackled by mandating
use
of paper bags.
This
is imperative for the government and bureaucrats to create
such
laws and regulations which enhances the
use
of paper bags
instead
of
plastic
bags. Apart from government, pre-requisite steps should
also
be taken up the common layman by indulging themselves in campaigns for the protection of
environment
Suggestion
the environment
so as to generate public awareness about the disaster and the harmful impact of
plastic
bags on
environment
Suggestion
the environment
and
consequently dearth
Suggestion
the consequent dearth
consequent dearth
of species including human beings. In fact, large businesses can
also
play a pivotal role in conservation of
environment
. As a part of Corporate Social responsibility, they should create employment amongst factory workers so that they remain cautious while disposing of the waste from factories and reduce the
use
of
plastic
bags which will surely protect the
environment
at a gigantic scale. In a nutshell, I strongly recount by saying that conservation of
environment
Suggestion
the environment
is the responsibility of all masses and not a single person or only law enforcement agencies. It is imperative that each person should treat the same as their common home and take every
such
measure which promotes awareness amongst the individuals, including the illiterate class so that they avoid
use
Suggestion
the use
of
plastic
bags and throwing the same in oceans or lakes for their convenience.
