.Nowadays, people always throw old things and have new things. What factors cause this phenomenon? What effect does this phenomenon lead to?

Human beings have developed a habit of dumping

items

which they have been using for some time and purchasing

items

that are comparatively newer.

This

trend has multiple positive

as well as

negative effects which I intend to discuss in

this

essay.  The ongoing competition among manufacturers to sell their

products

for generating profits is eliminating any fault in supply.

Moreover

, these

products

are reaching the end users quite promptly

due to

online stores

along with

brick-and-mortar shops.

This

easy availability is creating hype among buyers who are often getting indulged in splurging

instead

of making meaningful purchases.

Thirdly

, unlike in the old days, kids are presently having access to a considerable amount of funds unlike their earlier generations which leads them astray, and they are often observed wasting money on buying

products

which may be unnecessary. In my opinion, the earlier mentioned causes play a significant role in creating a harmful notion of buying useless

items

among the mass, thereby throwing away things that have a longer life. Sadly purchasing

items

that are in vogue has resulted in the generation of waste which authorities are finding difficult to dump.

For instance

, many projects have been initiated over the

last

decade by many Non-Governmental Organizations to clean up rivers, oceans and beaches. These need to be preceded with awareness in society about the 3Rs namely Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Unfortunately, a huge amount of energy is used in manufacturing

products

, whose minimum utility questions whether

this

process is ethical or not.

Additionally

,

this

process

also

results in Global Warming whose long-term harmful impact has already started giving sleepless nights to many intellectuals.

To conclude

, I believe we should make people aware that

items

should be discarded only when they are of no use, and shopping for

products

without any aim is harmful to human civilisation.
