Task answer

The proliferation of trashes in recent times has posed a significant threat on individuals' health. In this essay, I will interpret the reasons why the accommodation and industrial activities of human beings have exacerbated the rubbish crisis for the environment, and several appropriate implementations from the authorities to remedy this issue. One of the major contributors for the rubbish crisis is the rapidly increasing human population in this era, requiring more demand for food, belongings, and recreational products. To be more detrimental, the overuse of plastic in the industry of online delivery has produced more trashes from the human's living process to be released into the environment. Furthermore, industrial processes has created a huge amount of redundant materials, which can be considered as trashes and being thrown away. The phenomenon is often more catastrophic in developing countries, such as Vietnam, in which that demand for domestic production and international export is tremendous. Therefore, those countries usually need to cope with rubbish crisis, costing them millions of dollars to solve the issues. The authorities can enforce multiple regulations to address the crisis, which chiefly from these is to reduce the prices of sustainable material, such as wood or metal. With the more environmentally sustainable metal boxes or paper cups, customers and the industries' employers can save many expenditure, resulting in the prioritise for green products, rather than non-degradable plastic garbages. Additionally, the government can foster societal recycling programs in the community. For instance, the Vietnamese government has introduced a plastic recycling project in every schools and workplaces in 2023, successfully mitigating the amount of trashes created in the following time. Thus, these measures can significantly solve the garbage issue in efficient ways without costing too much money. In conclusion, the consequence of inevitable garbages release from residential and manufactural activities has triggered an enormous problem for society. The government should enact adequate and precise measures to address this crisis, such as supportive policies for manufacturing environmentally-friendly materials, or encouraging recycling plastics in the community.
