You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can governments do to help reduce the amount of rubbish produced? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.

At the present time, the number of debris produced is increasingly higher than ever before. As noticed, there is a high demand for
plastic
and aluminium packages in order to sustain
this
current generation
lifestyle
. While
this
may cause problems
such
as air and smell pollution in some areas of the city, other complications may be caused for the upcoming generations. Following
this
, governments may take decisive actions to establish laws to produce less rubbish for the purpose to protect the environment for future generations to come.
Firstly
, the cause of
this
extreme
waste
production is mainly due to our current way of living. More and more citizens live in a fast paced life,
therefore
their needs are different from before. As an example, many workers do not have time to do the groceries and
therefore
, prefer to buy their lunch and packed with
plastic
wraps with aluminium foils, and use clutters made out of plastics non-reusable.
Consequently
, the amount of disposable
waste
will increasingly be packed over the years on lands, and impossible to be recycled at least for not 100 years which will lead to air and soil pollution.
Secondly
, the other source of high rubbish production nowadays, is due to many personal and social behaviours that must be changed in
favor
promote over another
favour
of producing less
waste
.
This
should start with a strong strategy for awareness campaigns from schools, TV programs and documentaries targeting families.
For instance
, since 2010 to 2020, an immense awareness campaign has been held in Morocco by the for clean beaches, and
as a result
, many cities
such
as Rabat, Casablanca and Tangier changed their entire coastal areas from neglected and polluted places to beautiful and secure whereabouts for families and children to enjoy. In my opinion the government should definitely put a very decisive and impartial
laws
Suggestion
law
to restrict the number of
plastic
packages on supermarket shelves and to encourage vividly the population to maintain a zero
waste
lifestyle
. Like Sweden, its laws today don't allow supermarkets to sell any more
plastics
Suggestion
plastic
bags or any
plastic
wrapping for fresh produces, and encourage companies to use paper bags for any other products.
In addition
to these policies, the local authorities grant the most "clean citizens" with savings
for
Suggestion
in
their electricity bill if they maintain a low
waste
lifestyle
. In conclusion, I firmly think that our
lifestyle
must change in order to minimize our trash production. By changing our behaviour, and following restricted administration laws
for
Suggestion
in
this
matter, it will be clear to notice the change for our immediate environment and the upcoming one.
