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?

Some people hold the view that the amount of household

waste

recycled is far from sufficient. The argument they put forward is that the only way to increase

this

is to make it legally mandatory. I partially agree with

this

idea and believe that

with a specific amount of unrecycled

, which was a successful strategy to increase the amount of recycling in

country.

On the other hand

, there are other methods that can be even more efficacious to scale up recycling. Educational approaches to

this

matter can be more productive. It is universally acknowledged that education can exert a more profound impact on individuals in comparison with rules and fines. Recycling their

waste

, as the target behaviour, can be more deeply and effectively established in people by means of educational processes,

such

as schooling and media.

For example

although

some contend that more rules should be passed with respect to recycling, my personal opinion is that adopting

an approach can be effective,

However
