The main reason of more wastage is the use of packaged material like food, vegetables, fruits, and other household items. Such as people are using more and more canned food as compared to past few years. It is due to the fact the people tries to avoid the detrimental effects on health of using fresh food without packing. For Instance, CNN report reveals that almost 85% garbage is being collected in California consists of packed material. However, rather than food stuff even though all the items used in kitchen or bathrooms are plastic wrapped.
Although government could help to reduce the amount of wastage, it is only possible with cooperation of public.

Plastic bags and products that are thrown into the garbage remain in landfills for hundreds of years until they disintegrate. They present a serious threat to the environment and marine ecosystems.

Government could start awareness campaigns among the people to use lesser amount of canned material. For Example, Government could gift hand carrying buckets to people so that they could use to carry non-packed food in that. However, people should also cooperate and follow the instruction of government to reduce the amount of garbage.

Here are some ways to reduce the use of plastic in our daily lives.

  1. Get to know about the rules guiding recycling.
    Don’t be intimidated by the complicated symbols and sorting rules. Navigating the recycling system is actually quite simple once you do a little research . Since recycling standards vary from place to place, find out the specific rules for your area.
  2. Use reusable containers and water bottles for storing food and drinks. Use them when buying food and drinks.
  3. As much as possible, buy products that are not packaged in plastic containers. Opt for condiments in glass jars rather than plastic squeeze bottles. Water bottles and paper coffee cups are huge wastes of material. Buy a durable water bottle and a cute coffee thermos so you can take your beverages wherever you please. You’ll find yourself feeling a lot more hydrated and a lot less wasteful.
  4. When was the last time you repaired something broken rather than throwing it away to purchase a new one? Can’t remember? Same. But buying a few high-quality items and repairing them when necessary is so much better for the planet than buying loads of cheap, disposable stuff. Therefore learn to repairs things than discarding them
  5. Lastly, find shops and stores that offer discounts for bringing your own bags or containers.

In Conclusion, This essay discussed the reasons why we have much rubbish in our environment today, as government is doing its best to cub this we also as the citizens should do our best
