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

Some believe that since there are not enough people who recycle their waste, there should be laws to force them into it. I think while recycling is a necessary task to save our planet, passing laws and making people obey them isn't the best way. Recycling is an important task which helps reducing pollution on earth. If every home recycled their waste

such

as plastics and glasses, it would be less trash, which would be a great step towards healthier life on a cleaner planet. That's why some people say that it should be a mandatory task, and the government should pass some laws to enforce recycling.

Although

it may be helpful, I believe there are better ways.

For example

, studies have shown that in many cases positive reinforcements are more effective than negative ones. So,

as a result

, I think it's better if the government encourages recycling with small rewards like discounts and coupons.

Furthermore

, if there was a law for every little detail in life, It would be hard to live as a free and democratic society.

Moreover

, research has shown that enforcing new laws can be expensive and would take a lot of time and effort, while

this

time and cost can be spent in other areas. I believe having advertisements, which encourage recycling, having more stations to collect separated waste, and having positive reinforcement rewards can be more effective than laws. In conclusion, while some may believe that the only way to increase recycling, is by passing new laws, I think other ways can be as effective as laws or even more.
