Nowadays, lots of household waste is a problem. What is the cause of this problem and how can we solve the issue?

#lots #household #waste
Today we live in an era where so much rubbish from home causes a lot of trouble. The amount of litter is rising because of several reasons.
This
 essay will deal with the causes of the increasing amount of
waste
 and how it affects the
environment
 and suggest some way to overcome it. The most serious impact of
this
 situation is on the
environment
.
People
 consumptively shop for various kinds of goods that may not be environmentally friendly, and
then
 disposed of in the landfill and cause soil and water pollution. Mixing food
waste
 or kitchen scraps with non-organic objects can
also
 cause gases that are harmful to the
environment
.
Moreover
, destroying used plastics and Styrofoam are becoming a major problem everywhere especially in Indonesia because these things are difficult to destroy. The
first
 reason for the rising amount of rubbish is the high consumptive nature of today's society.
People
 are given many choices in life that encourage them to buy new things.
Secondly
, not everyone consciously sorts out the
waste
 generated from their homes. Some of them still mix all kinds of garbage in one place.
In addition
, sometimes an unstructured
waste
 management system causes all the collected
waste
 to end up piling up in a landfill. The
third
 reason is that many goods manufacturers still use too much packaging
such
 as single-use plastic to wrap their products, resulting in a lot of
waste
. Currently, cooperation from several parties is needed to overcome the bad effects of
waste
.
People
 have to be aware of the disastrous consequences of consumerism.
Besides
 that, they
also
 need to learn to be responsible for sorting their own
waste
.
People
 should buy only what is necessary. As far as possible, excessive packaging should be avoided.
Furthermore
, the government should encourage some industries to use an alternative way to package their products. To sum up, public awareness in choosing, buying, and being responsible for sorting
waste
 is the key to protecting the
environment
.
Besides
, regulations and supervision from the government regarding the packaging of goods are
also
 important to overcome the
environment

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
