The document discusses how modern lifestyles and mass consumption have contributed to increasing waste and garbage, with examples like plastic packaging and single-use items. It argues individuals should reduce plastic use by carrying reusable water bottles and recycling packaging when possible. Governments should also enforce laws requiring biodegradable materials to address excessive plastic waste.

Many people say that we have developed into a “throw-away” culture
because we fill our environment with many plastic bags and rubbish that we cannot fully dispose of. Do you agree or disagree, and what measures can you recommend to reduce this problem? It is an irrefutable fact that the world today has become a filthy place to live. So, I contend that it is primarily due to irrational dumping materials and excessive use of plastics. This essay will discuss thoroughly along with the measures to tackle this problem. To substantiate, I would like to pen down that the modern lifestyle contributes significantly to the increasing amount of waste and garbage. In other words, communities have become materialistic and mass-consumption societies, where they use more and throw away more than ever before. For example, the packaging of processed and packed food, which is mainly not decomposable, is disposed of in trash bins. However, the solution lies in changing our attitude. Instead of throwing packaging, consumers should recycle it as much as possible. Secondly, today’s markets are full of cheap, single-use-only things that are more in demand, such as mineral water bottles and throw-away plates less in value. All these products end up in the rubbish. Here too, the onus lies with us. Individuals should carry personal water bottles and endeavour to reduce the use of plastic objects. Besides, the government can enforce stricter laws on companies to use biodegradable material. To put it in a nutshell, although the world is becoming a poorer place to live, if individuals, businesses, and the government share the responsibility to address this problem on a war footing, Earth will become uninhabitable.
