The growth of consumerism has led to a throw-away culture where people are more concerned with acquiring material possessions than protecting the environment. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion

It is often assumed that as consumerism grows,

people

become more concerned with owning new items rather than protecting the

environment

, leading to today's 'throw-away'

culture

. In my opinion, I firmly agree with

this

statement

due to

the fact that rapidly changing

trends

will casually force

people

to do so. One of the main reasons for a 'throw-away'

culture

could be the development of technology that has improved the ability to fastly manufacture new collections.

This

is because of the many companies producing a new collection within a short span of

time

. So that customers might attract to the newly trended products and throw away the outdated ones. As an example, in the mobile phone industry, Oppo and Vivo are the companies that launch new models of phones every month. Unfortunately, consumers are very much concerned with the new-released mobile phones with the latest technology and

trends

or maybe just the sake of the status not much aware that,

this

will have an adverse impact on the

environment

when electronic waste increases from

time

to

time

.

Additionally

, n 'throw-away'

culture

is

also

the result of the changing

trends

. Currently trended products influence many

people

in order to be up to date and fashionable by buying new products as and when they launch.

For instance

, the majority number of

people

are using the boat, a brand of smartwatch. That brand was popular at that

time

, but now it was considered outdated

due to

the new brands involved rapidly in smart wearables.

This

shows that

people

are more focused on the

trends

which are changing rapidly,

instead

of focusing on the

environment

.

To conclude

,

According to

my opinion, individuals are valuing material things rather than protecting the

environment

from the dangerous effects in the future of the ‘throw-away’

culture

. As they are attracted easily to the new collections produced by companies timely and often influenced by the public.
