As we all might know, we are indeed producing lots of rubbish each day, there are many examples which might be useful to stop
this
trend, and I will discuss the reasons why it is happening in the first place and share some of my personal knowledge in
this
essay which can be helpful to reduce rubbish.
Firstly
, most garbage comes from the products that we use and throw out in the dustbin , especially the packaging which is made up of mostly TPU. Every company try to showcase their item by using special packing which can be only made with plastic,
for example
, if you look at the premium brands, their focus is mostly on the packing to make it look like the best quality,
such
as mostly coffee brands sell their coffee in the premium plastic pack which looks expensive and show quality up to the mark. these things should be reduced to create less waste.
Secondly
, most of the garbage land in the rivers and oceans that are not recycled. In
this
scenario, the government has to take part and create awareness among the public and put dustbins on every corner of the street, doing
this
, can make a great impact on the people who throw
such
things anywhere, there are many NGOs who are doing the cleanup in the sea,
such
as blue Ocean, their main target is to clean up the rivers and ocean, the government should
also
support these NGO's and help recycle every part of the garbage.
To conclude
, We all are responsible for every situation created, not just for any organisation, it is
also
our responsibility to create less rubbish and recycle as much as we can so it never ends up in the ocean where it becomes more difficult to recycle, and government need to take action on the companies that use plastic material for packaging
instead
of organic material.
