People are now living in a “throwaway society” where things are used for a short period of time and then thrown away. What are the causes of this and what problems does it cause?

Many a times,

this

is argued that

use

and throw is a problem. In

this

, essay, I will discuss its advantages and disadvantages, in detail.

Firstly

, to understand

this

, from where

this

concept is derived, we need to discuss the olden days and the present day situations. Generally, in olden days, people used to live in the joint families and females used to stay at home. Now, the trend has been changed. Many are nuclear families and are working couples.

For example

, in joint families in olden day clothes were used for the babies for their pottery. Since, today many are nuclear and working couples, obviously, they will not have time and patience for clothe changing and all.

For

instance

, diapers have come into the picture. Many a times, working couple is tired after they come back from the job, and they go to

use

and throw cups and plates to avoid washing of dishes and vessels.

This

is

also

widely adopted in function halls and in big gatherings, now in these days. These are all the advantages, I have discussed. There are different types of

use

and throw items made up of different materials.

For

instance

, Glass,

plastic

and papers are the few different materials to name a few. Glass and

plastic

can be recycled and papers can be burnt. To discuss the disadvantages,

for

instance

,

plastic

carry bags became widespread. Sometimes

this

is, consumed by birds and animals on land and caused the death for them. Same thing in the ocean and seas. When

this

is thrown in the sea, consumed by fishes and other sea creatures and caused the death for them.

Furthermore

,

this

is a costly habit of going always for

use

and throw. To conclude,

for

instance

,

plastic

carry bags must be banned and to be replaced with cloth carry bags.
