In our world, there is a vast amount of people who do not worry about waste recycling. In my opinion, the main reason of this – lack of understanding about consequences of air, water and soil pollution. Nonetheless, we have some abilities to change the situation and make better future for us and next generations.
Why do not people sorting garbage? There are two primary reasons for this. Citizens have not made a habit yet and can’t understand the importance of each thrown piece of waste. People won’t sort garbage stable until it becomes a part of daily routine as brushing teeth or making bad. Nowadays, popularisation of recycling in some countries have stopped on the level of rare projects and social events. Often it happens because of lack of education in ecological field. People think that annual collection of used batteries can save the Earth but keep on throwing their garbage on landfills instead of sorting and recycling.
How to increase the popularity of recycling? First and more important – make that process easier for average people, who might be not into recycling, types of waste, materials and other things. Governments have to provide colourful separated trash cans for popular types of waste in all public places and near people’s houses. All countries also can fund ecological projects more – ranging from teaching kids in the kinder gardens how to sort waste to providing benefits for people who sort waste every day. I think with influence and resources of governments we can make new “eco-habits” and solve the problem of pollution.
By way of conclusion, I would like to say that I hope we can change the situation with attitude towards recycling. We have to study more about people’s lifestyle in different countries and choose more suitable way of sorting garbage for them. Then it easier for them, then less landfills we will see on our planet.
