The amount of garbage produced by our cities is a big problem for governemts around the world.What are the causes of this excess waste?How can this problem be fixed?

Cities are producing more

garbage

than ever before and the amount is likely to double by 2025.

This

essay intends to study the reasons for the excess

garbage

and

also

suggest ways to tackle

this

global

garbage

crisis. The main cause of excessive

garbage

generation is the increasing population .More population is increasing consumption, which in turn is producing more

garbage

. Second,the materialistic society has augmented the demand for products which makes the producers manufacture more products.Another disturbing reason is the increase in plastic

garbage

which is nonbiodegradable and is filling up landfill sites.

garbage

disposal is leading to more

garbage

. The first way to deal with

garbage

is minimisation,which can be done through education and the adoption of improved production processes and less wasteful practices.

Secondly

,they should focus on the mantra of reuse.Most goods are made from nature,

such

as trees ,minerals,oil,gas and metals.The

garbage

created is really a resource

that is

thrown away sometimes after a single use.Reusing and

then

recycling these goods helps limit resource users,keeps valuable goods out of landfills,and prevents pollution.

Thirdly

,recycling things should be done.As much as 80 per cent of everyday

garbage

can be recycled and given a new life when broken down and used again and again.No doubt recycling uses energy and resources,but it's much better than making things from scratch.

For example

,every ton of newspaper recycled saves approximately 17 to 19 trees ,and over 70 per cent less energy is needed to produce aluminium from recycled cans than from new raw materials.Another important step that can be taken at a household level is composting.Composting reduces the amount of

garbage

going to landfills and it produces a free natural fertilizer,leading to a healthier environment.

To sum up

,solid

garbage

generation is becoming a colossal problem ,but it can be dealt with it in many ways.The time has come to stop

garbage

before it stops us.
