BUS: garbage/the environment

I. Issue and Reason

We thought this problem is becoming serious as we are using too many natural resources. We also need to know how much garbage exists, what’s in it, and where it all goes.

II. Causes

1) One cause is that people demand too much convenience. Companies in developed countries supply too many products that are over-packaged.

2) In addition, people in developed countries think nothing about buying. They buy easily and throw away easily.

3) Finally, companies encourage consumers to buy things through TV commercials, free magazines on the street, junk mail, etc.

III. Solutions

1) If we buy only one bottle of something or a pack of gum, we should say “I don’t need a bag” or bring our own bag.

2) We should encourage consumers to avoid buying products with too much packaging

3) Wash and reuse glass products.

4) Divide garbage into at least three categories: burnable, unburnable, and hazardous waste.

5) Always carry your own chopsticks.

6) We also have to cut down on unnecessary purchases.

7) Finally, companies must play their part and start thinking about the environment more than just their profits.
