ESSAY ON HOUSEHOLD RUBBISH
by
Mª Bella Granado Castro, B2-1 (B) Inglés
The amount of household
waste that we produce is increasing. Most food comes in plastic containers,
which are taken to huge landfills when we are finished with them. Landfills are getting full, and this produces
soil, air and water pollution as well as a terrible impact on human and animal
health. All this is slowly killing the planet, so what can we do to help?
To begin with, we could recycle old
food containers by finding a new use for them. A great way to do it is to make
people aware of the importance of recycling. For instance, metal tins can be
made into a jar for storing pens and pencils, or as flower pots, rather than
just throw them away. This way, people will become more environmentally aware
and less rubbish will be taken to landfill sites.
Another solution could be that local
councils provided more facilities to recycle large items. For example, damaged
household appliances like cookers and fridges are often just left out in the
street. If the local authorities provided especial collections of these items
for recycling, the environment would be less polluted.
Another way to help is to compost
our food waste. For example, vegetable peel can be put into the soil in our
back gardens, or in pots in our balconies or window sills. This will make
better quality soil and enable more plants to grow.
In
conclusion, I believe there are a lot of ways to encourage people to recycle
more and reduce the amount of rubbish we create. By recycling plastic and
metal, and reusing food waste, we can help to make the world a cleaner place
for everyone and make our environment safer and cleaner for the future. After all,
who wants to be overrun by rubbish?
