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

Produce of garbage is increasing every single day.
This
is happening mainly because of the increase in the usage of the
items
that are not recyclable.
Items
such
as
plastic
are used widely which
people
use
and throw as it is of no
use
later. In
this
essay, I will examine the reasons for an increase in the amount of
rubbish
produced and the steps that need to be taken by the
people
in power to reduce its production.
Firstly
, the main reason for rising garbage is due to the number of
plastic
that is
being used on a daily basis.
For example
, in Singapore when we shop groceries from a supermarket, the
items
are packed in several
plastic
bags
. These
plastic
bags
are thrown after unpacking the
items
. The authorities should come up with an alternative to
plastic
bags
such
as Jute
bags
or a carry bag
that is
made of some kind of cloth material.
In addition
, the authorities should create awareness and encourage
people
to
use
recyclable
items
more.
Secondly
, the wastage of
food
-
items
accounts for the increase in
rubbish
being produced daily.
For instance
, when we are in a restaurant, we order more than what is sufficient and end up wasting
food
. and the
food
often goes into

ustbin. In
such
a case, the concerned ministry should create a team to collect the left-over
food
from the restaurants so that the
food
can be utilized in a meaningful way.
Furthermore
,
people
from developed countries
use
a lot of paper towels in their domestic work which can
also
be replaced by other materials that can be recycled. All in all, the government should take decisive steps to reduce
rubbish
by increasing the tax on the
items
that cannot be recycled and should promote natural ways of reducing
rubbish
. In conclusion,
people
should realise the mistakes and obey the orders of the government in reducing the amount of garbage
that is
produced daily. Innovative methods and creating awareness will play a major role in
this
process.
