Concern for the environment is growing and more and more people are choosing to recycle .but some people suggest that recycling is not enough and we need to consume less

There are conflicting views as to whether what

people

should do in order to conserve the

environment

.

Although

some

people

believe that recycling is a sufficient solution, others, including me, think it should accompany consuming less. First and foremost, consumerism is one of the main reasons for harming the

environment

. Many products are manufactured massively as there are considerable demands for them, so if

people

know the negative effects of their shopping on the

environment

, they try to be more responsible by selecting wisely.

Thus

, the need to recycle would be reduced

due to

the decrease in goods production.

Moreover

, all materials are not capable of being recycled.

For instance

, there is no technology to recycle clothes or disposable products.

Consequently

, they are left in nature for a long period. Some argue that recycling can be an optimal solution to preserve our

environment

. They think by recycling things can be used over and over with no need to throw them away. They

also

refer that by recycling, the rates of using other harmful ways

such

as burning or digging wastes would be declined and our nature will be saved.

However

, I believe that preserving our nature requires more serious actions and

people

should not just depend on the recycling industry.

Additionally

, the cost of recycling is extremely higher than other methods of destroying waste,so many countries prefer to continue the traditional ways. In conclusion, I believe recycling should be followed by less consumption as it reduces the need for mass production and

also

because many materials cannot be reused again.
