Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can government do to help reduce the amount of rubbish produced?
现在我们正制造越来越多的垃圾。你认为这种现象为什么会发生?政府应该做些什么来减少各类垃圾的产生?
The more developed the region is, the more rubbish there is, which is perhaps the never-failing wisdom in modern civilized world. Who is the director in such a black humour?
Firstly, the comfortable and convenient life accompanied by the fantastic growth of science and technology can account for the overwhelming rubbish. As we know, the pride-taking symbol of 21st century is the unbelievable technology, which provides a multitude of one-off products enjoyed avariciously by indolent people, such as chopsticks, shopping bags, and purified water bottles, some of which are non-biodegradable for ages. Accordingly,wastes have been produced and accumulated at an amazing rate. Furthermore, the awareness of environment protection is alarmingly scarce. We are addicted to entertainment of life but often refer to environment as others. In our perspective, pollution combating and nature conserving are far from our essential jobs, and government should take all the responsibility. So we can drop litter without even a grain of shame.
If we hate to witness our earth is transformed into a large rubbish dump, government and individuals should take immediate steps to curb that terrible situation. The authority has to invest more money in efficient disposal of trash, and the large-scale campaign against ugly phenomenon such as random garbage-throwing and spitting should be launched without any delay. As for individuals, behaving themselves and saying no to possible environmental unfriendly deeds are strongly recommended.
