Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. 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? Recently a problem that rubbish, produced by our human-beings, has an increasingly growth. The reason why there are more and more rubbish is complicated, and I’ll analyze the causes and give some suggestions. The fundamental factor, as far as I’m concerned, is the population, which is rising sharply these years. It’s not possible that while there are more and more people, the rubbish produced by them could stay the same amount as it did in the past. In the other words, with the growing population, rubbish increases inevitably. Another dominating factor could be attributed to waste, which has become one of the most unconscious bad habits of people. This is partly due to the fact that the abundant resources, brought by advanced technology and, as well, exploitation of the earth, makes people take it for granted that only if they have money, they could buy whatever they want and, of course, throw out whatever they obsolete at any time without any consideration about save or something. Besides, people care more about convenience while the life pace is so quick nowadays, and that may lead to more consumption of one-time production. Hence, while the population is hard to control, the most significant thing that the government should do is to raise people’s awareness of declining rubbish-producing. Propagandizing is definitely a must to tell people how severe the problem is and what they can do to make compensation, and, in particular, instilling the conception of saving and rubbish-reducing into children’s mind is also of great importance in the long run. Simultaneously, legislating laws to tax or fine some improper actions related to rubbish-producing could be effective. In general, there are a lot of things we can do to solve the problems, in that we should make joint efforts to reducing rubbish. [Cambridge IELTS 5 G B]
