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?

Recycling household

waste

is expected in society.

People

need to reuse, reduce and recycle their domestic rubbish not only to protect the environment but

also

to ensure the future prosperity of humankind. I strongly believe that

government

regulations are required to

force

people

to increase their domestic recycling habits because of irresponsibility and time. Since many individuals neglect their duty to recycle a lot of rubbish,

government

laws are needed to

force

them to act in the interest of themselves, the public and the

planet

. Frequently,

people

around the world throw plastic bottles, tin cans, and glass containers into their general rubbish which should

otherwise

be separated into recycling bins, and authorities can make

this

an obligation by imposing strict, 1000-dollar fines, for those who do not separate their recyclables appropriately. (Specific example) In my neighbourhood, I have seen recycling increase threefold since the Canadian

government

established strict laws for residents that do not recycle their

waste

. (Connecting sentence)

This

is one of two reasons that governments must regulate domestic recycling. Our

planet

cannot cope with the rate of pollution generated by humanity and societies are running out of time to save the environment so

government

intervention is needed to speed up the process. (E) The rate of land, water and air pollution is extensive and is causing global warming and land, air and water pollution is rapidly increasing leading to global warming and the death of flora and fauna. Without putting a quick stop to

this

process the

planet

, and humanity along with it, suffers and dies in a matter of decades, and it is up to elected authorities to curtail

this

phenomenon with heavy fines and consequences for those households which contribute to

this

problem. Example – Due to the contribution of the increased consumption and

waste

of domestic

waste

, global temperature has risen by over 1 degrees average in the

last

year; at

this

rate, humanity cannot survive another half-century. When governments regulate

this

behaviour with 1000-dollar fines they

force

people

to change their habits within a matter of weeks rather than years. In conclusion, many

people

do not care enough about recycling and the

planet

is simply running out of time for humans to recycle sufficiently.

Therefore

, I strongly support the idea of

government

regulation to increase domestic recycling practices. In the end, it is better to

force

people

to pay a fine now than to pay with their lives later in a world which can no longer sustain life.
