The Earth Is Being Filled with Waste Material Such as Plastic Bags and Other

The earth is being filled with waste material such as plastic bags and other rubbish. Is this really happening? What are some solutions to this problem?


Over the past few decades, the increasing amount of industrial wastes and household garbage has become a major problem in many countries. People have questioned what caused this problem and what can be done to improve the situation. In my opinion, two of the  most critical causes of this waste material problem are the increased consumption and a shortage of space for landfill.

To begin with, modern lifestyle has contributed greatly to the increasing amount of waste and garbage we produce everyday. In other words, we have turned into a materialistic and mass-consumption society where we use more and throw away more than ever before. Moreover, countries are running out of space to store garbage and waste material. In fact, securing land for waste disposal raises controversies in many countries.

To solve this intractable problem, every citizen needs to participate in producing less garbage. For example, we can bring our own personal shopping bags instead of using plastic bags provided by stores and shops. Besides, the government can enforce stricter laws on companies using biodegradable packaging or recycled material. Indeed, this alone can eliminate much of the waste which is sent to at landfills. Companies can also contribute by developing new raw materials which is recyclable and will ultimately lead to less garbage. One good example of this is that tire companies develop new tires for cars which are not made of rubber but of new biodegradable material.

As discussed above, individuals, businesses, and the government can share the responsibility to reduce waste material and save the earth. I hope that in the future, our offspring will be better off in a well-preserved environment.
