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?

A huge amount of

rubbish

has been produced in the world in recent years and overconsumption is the main cause for

this

. I believe that

this

problem could be solved if the government establishes some strict rules and makes people follow them.

To begin

with, the standard of living in today's society has been characterized by overconsumption,

thus

this

has led to producing more and more

rubbish

.

Furthermore

, astronomic quantities of products are produced each day in order to satisfy the massive demand of the market.

Consequently

, industrial and domestic

rubbish

is increasing dramatically.

For instance

world.

However

, every problem could have its own solutions. Governments could overcome

this

issue by implanting strict rules to follow by both people and industrial companies. As an example, limiting production to a certain number could help effectively solve

this

problem by obliging factories to produce less or pay huge fines on the function of the produced waste.

Besides

, schools could play an important role in sensitizing children and making them aware of the extreme effects of

this

issue at an early age.

Furthermore

, sensitization campaigns on TV, radio or newspapers could have a positive impact on people's

rubbish

production is due essentially to overconsumption and

this

could be reduced if governments fine factories which don't respect the implanted rules. Campaigns of sensitization at schools, on TV, on the radio or in newspapers could

also

be part of the solution.
