Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can the government do to reduce the amount of waste produced?

A highly alarming issue today relates to the amount of

rubbish

that is

produced.

This

essay discusses, in my opinion, what are the reasons for

this

, and suggests measures that the government could take to diminish

waste

production. It is noticeable that we are producing more

rubbish

than we used to produce before. In my opinion,

this

is happening due to consumerism, which is out of control. It is part of the current world the addiction to buying things, and, as the products are not made to

last

, people produce more

waste

than ever before. To illustrate, many technological devices

last

less than 2 years and the final result is to become

rubbish

.

In addition

, I believe people are not worried about recycling, which would be essential to reduce the amount of

waste

produced.

Therefore

, the result is the increasing and alarming amount of

rubbish

threatening the environment.

However

, the menace of

rubbish

production can be fought. I believe the government has a special role, and some measures could be taken to solve

this

problem.

First

, it is important that the authority makes campaigns related to conscient consumerism.

For example

, I believe schools and universities should have lectures about how to avoid overbuying.

Second

, the government should

also

invest in recycling because the majority of the

waste

can be recycled.

For instance

, places designed to receive recyclable

waste

could be created. To sum up, the uncontrolled consumerism and the lack of recycling is the main reason why so much

waste

is produced nowadays. To tackle

this

problem, the authority should invest in education and the collection of items that can be recycled.
