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 a legal requirement. To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste?
It is inevitable that households will produce some waste, but the increasing amount of refuse presents a challenge for governments as historical disposing methods are not practical anymore Some argue a huge proportion of domestic waste can be recycled and reused through setting regulations and rules. I agree that regulation is an effective method, whereas considering other remedies such as education and reward systems have at least the same impact.

In your letter: describe the problem; explain how it affects you; say what you will do if this matter is not resolved.( at least 200)
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the inaccessibility of the pavement caused by the actions of your cafe “Emily’s” down the road.
