In many countries, people do not recycle waste materials such as bottles and newspapers. What are the reasons for this ? What could be done to solve this problem ?

Since the

last

decade, there has been a significant increase in the amount of waste generated. Despite

this

, people continue to avoid recycling and reusing these materials.

This

essay will

first

outline that the principal reasons for

this

problem are the lack of awareness and government funding and

then

discuss that educational campaigns and monetary backing from governmental bodies can help mitigate

this

problem. The main reasons for

this

problem are the scarcity of knowledge about

this

topic and deficient financial funding.

First

of all, people are not aware of the hazards of pollution and the accumulation of plastic because of

this

they do not reuse bottles and avoid recycling newspapers. They do not realise that

this

can have negative consequences on their lifestyle. In a 2018 study, conducted by Stanford University,it was noticed that only thirty per cent of the population residing in New York was aware that certain products could be recycled. Another reason contributing to

this

issue is the lack of economical support from national organizations. The government inappropriately invests in the sector of refuse management because of which there is no work done in

this

area.

For instance

, only two per cent of available funds are invested in the reuse of garbage.

Although

there are several causes responsible for

this

, there are a fair number of plausible solutions

such

as ensuring adequate economic backing and awareness created with the help of education. Ensuring good financial help from the nation can benefit

this

. The country should allocate a certain amount of money to improve the handling of recyclable materials.

For example

, in the UK, citizens who invent new techniques for the disposal of garbage and suggest ways to reuse refuse are awarded cash prizes.

Furthermore

, another method of managing

this

would be to conduct educational sessions about it .

This

could be done by using powerful multimedia devices. With the help of

this

citizens might gain more knowledge about

this

particular topic and devise ways to manage it. In conclusion, there are certain reasons responsible for people refusing to recycle waste

such

as less information and deficient monetary support.

However

, with the help of effective learning propaganda and help from the nation,

this

can be easily managed.
