Many people believe that we have developed into a "throw-away society" which is filling with plastic bags and
rubbish. What do you think?
Wind blows up bags higher and higher in the sky. It is a scary thought that some day the earth will turn into a huge
garbage land. Wastes, if not treated properly, will make our life a living
nightmare.
The
environmental issue is getting worse almost every day in cities with very large population. As is often the case, city development outpaces
environmental protection. People consume great amount of natural resouces and produce wastes. To
effectively address such problems, cities need to spend big money. In addition, they need to call to the attention of people to become more
environmentally responsible.
Many people are becoming less responsible and easily influenced by bad behaviors. "Why should I care while others don't care?" Such idea makes some people only concern with places where they live and work. Furthermore, people sometimes even purposely
litter for revenge to other people.
Although media promotes
environmental awareness, good people are often snubbed as posers who try to set up a superior image in real life. Consequently, they are intimated of receiving
negative comments for doing the right thing. Wrong as it is, such
phenomenon is
widespread especially among youngsters and people with low income and little education.
However, our society is waging a
campaign against
environmental pollution. People learn the harms of undegradable lunch boxes and other polluting wastes. Laws in many countries
prohibit or limit
excessive use of polluting bags. Companies are continuely replacing the old materials with more
environmental friendly and recyclable kinds. Scientists have developed more effective technologies in waste treatment. As time goes by, more and more people put high priority on the protection of
environment for a healthier life.
To sum up, people produce huge amount of
garbage and the
environment is seriously polluted because of lack of financial resources, sense of responsibility, or efforts. But the world will not turn into a "throw away" society if people put in sufficient efforts to protect our
environment.
