Some people feel that manufacturers and supermarkets have the responsibility to reduce the amount of packaging of goods. Others argue that customers should avoid buying goods with a lot of packaging. Discuss both views and give your opinion. Sample band 8:

As the world's temperature is rapidly increasing and the

use

of

goods

with packaging is undoubtedly one of the major causes of

this

ongoing problem,

therefore

, I personally agree that both statements are correct in their own aspects.

In other words

, I believe that, to solve

this

issue, the

manufacturers

, the

supermarkets

, and the

customers

are all responsible to tackle

this

issue altogether by putting their best effort and cooperation in the reduction of the

use

of those packaging

products

. First of all, in order to achieve our goal of reducing the

use

of packaging

goods

, it cannot be denied that the involvement of the parties relating to the production process,

such

as the

manufacturers

and the

supermarkets

, is a very crucial part of it.

For example

, if there are fewer packaging

products

being produced by the

manufacturers

or used by the

supermarkets

,

then

there will definitely be fewer packaging

products

being purchased by the

customers

. In

this

regard, I am of the opinion that the producing and selling parties should focus and invest more in their research and development in order to find a way to make their packaging more friendly to the environment. Even though, in the beginning, it might incur their cost of production, it certainly will in return be beneficial to their reputation and help them succeed in their business in the long run. As explained in

this

paragraph, I

therefore

totally agree that it is an undeniable responsibility of the

manufacturers

and the

supermarkets

to reduce the number of packaging

goods

in their own capacity. Apart from the above, the

customers

as the purchasing party are

on the other hand

another key element to accomplish the aim of lessening the

use

of packaging

products

.

This

is because the supply from the sellers will not come without the demand from the

customers

.

As a result

, I am positive that if the majority of

customers

refuse to buy any

goods

with a lot of packaging and support the idea of non-packaging

goods

,

then

those manufacturing and selling parties will eventually change their way of production from packaging

products

to non-packaging

products

to correspond with

this

new idea from their

customers

. In conclusion, I entirely agree with both statements since completing the mission of lowering the

use

of packaging

goods

will become unachievable if one or another statement is compromised.
