Task 2 – Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can governments do to help reduce the amount of rubbish produced?
Earth, our home planet that we share with the plethora of different flora and fauna, is being ridiculed by this deluge of garbage being produced by us humans, rendering it unlivable for all and not just us the humans. Unfortunately, even though we know the harmful effects of excessive rubbish, we’re still producing massive amounts of it, worsening the environment rather than improving it.
There are a number of contributors to these mounds of garbage that we produce – excessive household wastage, overbearing industries, etc., and its worsened by the lack of a good infrastructure to deal with this waste. If we can figure out a solution for any one of these problems (if not all), there would be a tremendous decrease in the volume of garbage waste generated.
In order to curb this problem, the government needs to step in and implement policies around it. Excessive household garbage is something that can be easily tackled if individuals can start being more conscious about what they consume and what they waste. If the government can come up with incentives to reward citizens who contribute less waste and promote reuse and recycle of it, there would be a sharp decline in the production of household waste.
Another sector that requires strict policing by the government are the various manufacturing industries that produce mountains of garbage and just dump it out in nature (oceans, seas, landfills etc.). If the government can take strict actions against these companies and start penalizing them for these wastes, they can easily subsidize, if not eradicate, the excessive garbage production. If implemented properly, the money collected by these companies can be used as incentive money for citizens, ensuring that no stress is placed on the government’s coffers and achieve the desired goal at the same time.
Sooner or later, the governments have to start realizing the negative effects of excessive garbage on our environment and come up with counter measures like penalizing industries or incentivizing citizens to mitigate this issue. It is our duty as citizens of the world to ensure we leave the world in a better state than we got it in.
