Some
people
 feel that there is not enough residential
waste
 recycled. They argue that recycling can only be increased if
people
 are legally required to participate.
However
, I do not think legislation is needed at all. For one thing, low participation in recycling is mainly the result of its inconvenience. For another,
awareness
campaigns
 can achieve the same results legislation does. It is inconvenient for many
people
 to recycle their household
waste
. Many
people
 do not actively engage in recycling, not because it is not a mandate but because they do not have access to curbside recycling. If they want to participate, they have to travel long distances tofi and a recycling centre, which discourages them from being active recyclers.
Thus
, if governments make recycling facilities more accessible, participation will improve greatly even without any legal requirements.
In addition
,
awareness
campaigns
 can be as effective as
laws
. It is true that If
laws
 mandate recycling,
people
 will be more aware of its importance.
However
,
this
 can
also
 be accomplished through
awareness
campaigns
.
For example
, governments can campaign on social media platforms against the damage that residential
waste
 has caused to
this
 planet. In
this
 way, more
people
 will become alert to the
waste
 crisis
this
 planet is facing and start participating in recycling
as a result
. In conclusion, I believe it is completely unnecessary to use
laws
 to increase household recycling since recycling is unpopular mainly because it is inconvenient.
Besides
,
awareness
campaigns
 can have the same
effectiveness
Replace the word
effect
show examples
 as
laws
.
