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 it a legal requirement. To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste?

Waste

coming from households is currently a major problem as many

people

claim that it is quite a challenge to recycle them. The

government

is asked to intervene in

this

matter because

people

believe that enforcing laws on

waste

management will make

people

recycle more of their

waste

.

Therefore

, in

this

essay, I am going to discuss why laws are needed in recycling and

also

will discuss any other possibilities of ways that could be applied. The

waste

management problem can be solved if the

government

manages to put trash bins into categories. To clarify

this

point, there should be a bin for non-recyclable

waste

and for recyclable

waste

so that it will be easier for separating the

waste

into the recycling process.

For example

, in some places, there are different

colors

Change the spelling

colours

show examples

of trash bins. Green is for recyclable

waste

, Yellow is for general

waste

that cannot be recycled, and

also

in some places, there is

also

a bin for glasses. By doing

this

, the

government

,

therefore

, can apply laws

such

as imposing a tax or fees on

people

who don’t follow the rule

such

as disposing of trash in the forbidden place not in the bin area.

This

will result in

people

being more disciplined and more responsible for their

waste

and

also

it will encourage them to recycle more.

However

, there is

also

government

regulation that can be used to solve

this

matter. In our world today,

people

consume more and more energy and goods which means more

waste

is being produced, too much

waste

means more pollution.

Therefore

,

government

regulation can be useful because the

government

has the ability to regulate the amount of

waste

being discharged into the environment.

For example

, rivers can be contaminated because there are water bottles, plastic bags, and so on, floating in the water. To fix

this

, the

government

can start some kind of program to deal with the problem

such

as investing in tools or machines that can eliminate a massive amount of

waste

in a short period of time or asking for volunteering.

This

allows the recycling process to be progressing on a big scale and

also

makes the city cleaner.

Such

a campaign can encourage

people

to be aware of the importance of recycling because they’ve seen how it affects the environment. Another way to encourage

people

to recycle is to acknowledge them at a young age. Children should be taught at school about what are the benefits of recycling and what are the consequences if we don’t recycle. With

this

method, children are

then

going to encourage their parents to recycle more of their

waste

.

In addition

, not only children but adults should be taught that

waste

is not always useless but sometimes can be beneficial.

For example

, you can get money from collecting water bottles by selling them to a recycling place. In

such

a way,

people

are more likely to start recycling

more

Correct quantifier usage

show examples

. In conclusion, acknowledging to

people

how important recycling is, is a way that can make

people

recycle more.

However

, the intervention of the

government

is still required. The

government

should impose a tax on

people

who do not follow the rules because, in reality, it is indeed very difficult to attract all

people

to participate in recycling. By doing that, we can at least save the environment from more pollution and not make it worse than it already is.
