In many societies, there is a growing emphasis on sustainable living and reducing environmental impact. What are the challenges of adopting a sustainable lifestyle?

In many communities,

people

are now focusing on sustainable living and reducing environmental degradation. The challenges they are facing are an increase in the

cost

of recyclable products and a lack of education on the adverse impacts of environmental damage. The first issue is the total

cost

of producing recyclable products

such

as polybags is high.

In other words

,

materials

which are recyclable are more expensive than non-recyclable

materials

, and

as a result

,

people

prefer to buy cheap products.

For example

, as per data, the

cost

of producing plastic bags is almost half as compared to a paper bag or a cloth bag.

Therefore

, most of the shopkeepers prefer to use plastic bags over others as it saves their

overall

cost

. Another issue is

people

do not have the required knowledge about saving the environment.

This

is because in developing countries

such

as India and Africa, almost half of the population is uneducated, and

thus

they do not have sufficient knowledge on how to save the environment.

For instance

, in research, it was found that more than half of the Indian farmers are not aware

about

of

the adverse impact of stubble burning,

therefore

, stubble burning pollution adds fifty per cent of total pollution in India. In conclusion, individuals are now focusing on better living and reduction in environmental degradation.

However

, the main challenges they are facing are the high

cost

of non-recyclable

materials

and less knowledge about

this

in uneducated

people

.

Therefore

,

people

should try to increase the use of recyclable

materials

and they should educate others about the adverse impact of environmental degradation.
