These days people in some countries are living in a “throw-away” society which means people use things in a short time and then throw them away. What are the causes of this and what problems it might lead to?

Pollution is one of the biggest problems in the present age. And
people
all around the world even to
this
day are living in a “throw-away” society. Some
people
assert that pollution is not a big problem, because they do not see consequences, whereas many other argue that every unnecessary usage of plastic or other material is bad. Personally, I am in
favor
Change the spelling
favour
show examples
of the latter view.
First
and most important, a lot of used
items
tend to be thrown away into the ocean.
For instance
, plastic straws, cups, plates, and bags. In many cases, plastic straws will be eaten by fish or bigger animals, because they will mix it with their food. And that not only lead to sickness but
also
to extinction. It is obvious that factors that make a lot of one-usage
items
really pollute the air.
For example
, a lot of these
items
come from China, and we all know that air in China has so many chemicals, that
people
even to
this
day wear masks.
On the other hand
, some products cannot be used again because of the bacteria they are caring. Let’s take into consideration medical gloves. Doctors, surgeons, and nurses fight many different diseases every day and they have to change their gloves with every patient because every person's immunity system is different and doctors have to make sure that every patient is safe. In conclusion, many
people
are still using
items
that are one-time use and that not only pollute our planet but
also
increase the chances of animal extinction. Well obviously, there are some things that are medically mandatory to change after every usage, but
that is
just a small part of all things that are wasted.
