essay, I would like to identify the causes of
this

impact landfills make on soil, sea and other natural ecosystems, we will be utilizing things more consciously. To illustrate it, fast fashion is a very popular trend in our lifestyle. We buy many clothes to wear just one or two times,

In addition
, recent surveys have discovered that more than 67% of people in developing countries do not sort their household rubbish for different reasons like unawareness or lack of opportunities for it. Undoubtedly the government is enabled to change

All these measures are able to decrease the amount of rubbish and what is more crucial, it could change our minds for stopping to ravage our nature. ! In conclusion, I want to admit that the population has reached 7
