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

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
