It goes without saying that garbage is generated in the course of human life。 People have been living with garbage for centuries ever since they came into being。 However, we are increasingly confronted to a serious garbage problem。 Why has it become so serious an issue in recent decades?
In my opinion, the explosion of population is one most important cause。 There are 6 billion human beings on earth and their food, clothing, shelter give rise to enormous garbage, not to mention transportation or entertainment。 Moreover, consumption-oriented culture and the quick pace of life contribute to the problem as well。 Fast food, disposable products and packages create huge amount of waste。 Besides, lack of environmental education and insufficient infrastructures makes the problem worsen。
Considering of the serious situation as well as the harm of the pollution caused by the garbage, some urgent measures must be taken。 In the government side, investment in the infrastructure construction and regulation making should be increased。 From the individual side, we need to practice recycling and cut down on waste。
