On the other hand, when they use more metal materials, then its production will increase which will produce fume gasses and harm the environment. As a result, this circumstance will make people confused about what is the best way that they should follow because there are no clear regulations which one is better, stop using plastics or metal materials.
However, People can participate in sustainability by practicing some actions. In the first place, they can start by changing their own routine in reducing disposable plastic reuse non disposable things made from glass or metal. Communities could start to reduce the use of plastic bottles by having their own tumbler and they also can reuse packages of some products that they buy made from glass or metal.

The organic waste can be used as a fertilizer for home garden and the non organic waste could be recycle for another purpose such as creating home decorating products.
