Some people claim that not enough 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 wastes.
In
this
contemporary era, recycling is one of the most debatable concepts. A bunch of personages claim that the household waste
is not being recycled adequately and imposing a legal requirement by governments is the sole way to increase recycling. In my opinion, although
it might be an important step towards increasing the amount of recycled waste
, I believe that people should be more aware of their environment and surroundings.
To begin
with, why people's consciousness is more important than government regulation? The first
and most prominent one is that the masses are unable to recycle their household wastes
as they do not know the proper way to recycle. To elucidate further
, if the population knows how to utilize wastes
, most of the wastes
would not only be recycled but also
be used in several household activities. for instance
, from organic wastes
, it is possible to produce biofuel which can be used in cooking. A survey conducted by ILO in 2015, revealed that on average, 25% of the houses in Bangladesh use bio-plant in order to produce biogas. Therefore
, awareness can be a great factor to increase the quantity of recycling waste
.
Moreover
, imposing laws on recycling wastes
by governments can be a driving factor in this
trend as well. If the government makes recycling Compulsory as well as a legal requirement, people Would be more encouraged to recycle their home's filth. For example
, Romania,a country in Europe, utilizes 90% of its waste
that has been produced from houses, where the authority made recycling mandatory for every home. So it is inevitable that implementing a legal requirement is significant as well.
To conclude, in spite of having the fact that the authorities can be able to highly influence the masses, it is the public awareness which would play the most essential part. Nevertheless
, governments should focus on increasing public perception regarding waste
recycling.Submitted by md2020 on
