Some people claim that not enough of the waste from homes is recycled. They say that the only way to increase recycling is for governments to make it a legal requirement. To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste?

There is an opinion which argues that the

governments

should make a legal requirement of increasing recycle wastes in their countries because it is the only way to improve

such

environmental problem. From my perspective, I disagree with

this

viewpoint since I believe that apart from applying legal regulations, there are other measures to tackle the issue.

First

of all, it goes without saying that promulgating laws to residents plays an important role in encouraging

people

to recycle their

waste

. By having specific and detailed regulations from the

governments

, individuals may find it easier to abide by legal requirements and follow recycle instructions every time they suppose to throw away their garbage.

For example

, many coffee shops nowadays are asking customers to categorize their trashes into different types from organic and inorganic

waste

for reused purposes.

Consequently

,

this

activity not only helps to form good habits for individuals in terms of protecting the environment but

also

increase the amount of recycled

waste

every day.

On the other hand

, I assume other methods

such

as educating and enhancing

people

’s self-consciousness can be taken into consideration by environmental specialists and

governments

. In fact, it is not always appropriate to adapt recycling laws to all

people

in a country, especially for those who are in poor families or have low incomes. I mean, these

people

are facing more serious problems in their lives

such

as managing to earn enough money for the bills and make ends meets.

As a result

, applying legal requirements of recycling

waste

will be unpractical and put another burden on them.

Instead

, the poor can be appealed to raise their children’s awareness of executing recycling activities

such

as reusing old bottles and nylon bags since they were a child. In conclusion, setting laws to make

people

recycle more of their

waste

is undeniably one of the most prominent measures to increase recycling and decrease factors affecting the environment. Though, to some extent, I think the

governments

should adopt other policies as well as measures while dealing with residents who live in poverty.
