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?

Rubbish

production

has increased considerably over the

last

few years. In

this

essay, I will argue why I believe

this

problem is occurring and suggest some strategies that governments can take to decrease the amount of garbage generated. Waste

production

is highly influenced by individuals' exaggerated consumption. In many countries, Capitalism's lifestyle and advertisements induce people to consume more products, which leads to greater rubbish

production

and

thus

pollution.

For instance

, many people are influenced by TV commercials and digital influencers to purchase a more modern cellphone even though they already have a decent cellphone to use. In some cases,

this

may even lead to an inadequate discard of the old cellphone, which is very harmful to the environment.

Therefore

, the more products we consume, the more trash will be produced. There are some actions governments can take to overcome

this

challenge. One way is to obligate companies to collect and recycle the products,

such

as electro domestics, that the public can no longer use or does not want to use anymore. Another way is to promote environmental education programs in schools to encourage sustainable consumption at an early age.

Finally

, there should be around the cities, stations where people can correctly discard their solid waste and receive incentives for that,

such

as discounts on their water or power bills. In conclusion, rubbish

production

is caused by unsustainable consumption, which can cause environmental problems.

This

issue can be lessened by partnerships with companies, environmental education programs in educational facilities, and the implementation of recycling stations in cities.
