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?

Nowadays, countries are contributing to combating different kinds of pollution, and one of which
that is
the most direct to people's daily life is the domestic
garbage
issue. In order to reduce the amount of
garbage
, some people say authorities must enact
laws
to mandate citizens to do recycling. In my opinion, I totally agree with
this
idea and think that humans are inherently lazy to do so and are aloof from environmental issues.
First
of all, it is essential to introduce compulsory rules to cut household waste because individuals fare lazy to proactively do
such
a thing.
For example
, before relative rules were formed, the Taiwanese created plenty of
garbage
every day. They threw everything, some were already defined as recyclable materials at that time, into rubbish trucks. It was not until the government started to resort to
laws
to fine those who did not do recycling that the total annual amount of refuse declined. Another reason why only governments can increase recycling is that people less care about environmental issues.
For instance
, in the recent survey, conducted by WHO (World Health Organization), in accordance with atmospheric pollution, more than half of the respondents had no cognition that approximately one-fifth of air pollution came from local refuse destructor plants.
Such
a percentage is enough to accelerate global warming;
thus
, WHO advocates authorities to draft
laws
to
first
deal with their domestic
garbage
problems. In conclusion, as the natural environment is deteriorating along with citizens laziness and indifference, from my point of view it is necessary for governments to make
laws
to constraint domestic waste.
