Some people claim that not enough of the waste from homes is recycled. They say that the only way to increase recyclng is for the goverment to make it a legal requirement. To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste?

Reduce, reuse and recycle is
also
 known as the 3Rs in
waste
 management and is a crucial topic discussed by many.
Although
 recycling a good portion of
waste
 was the ultimate goal, it still has not been achieved. Some states that if the
government
 implement more rules, the amount of recycling could increase. I fully agree with the statement and in
this
 essay, I will discuss how
government
 involvement in lawmaking would be beneficial in changing the household
waste
 recycling process.
Firstly
, imposing new tax laws for recycling and
waste
 would drastically reduce the weight of rubbish per person. If people had to pay for the amount of
waste
 they throw, they will try to reduce as much as they can.
For instance
, a small Korean village which had piles of garbage with no infrastructure or finance to recycle started a penalty fee method for the weight of garbage they threw. After a year of imposing
this
 law and with the cooperation of villagers, they were able to reduce individual
waste
 production by 90%. So
this
 means, if we can push people to their boundaries, they will find new ways to reduce their
waste
 and
thus
 focus more on recycling. Later, the Korean
government
 adopted
this
 law for the whole country.
Secondly
, every school should include
waste
 management and the 5S method in their curriculum which should be practised every day. In Japan, starting from kindergarten, the 5s method was embedded into children's lives and is practised around the whole country. Every household, shop or school set examples for children by showing various methods of recycling and it is evident by the results obtained after decades because Japan now stands as the world's cleanest country. In conclusion, when the
government
 involves itself as a mediator to form laws to pressurize people to recycle, we will see a significant reduction in unrecycled wastage.
