Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
By: Jayleen Troutwin
An issue that currently frustrates me is the misuse and non-use of recycling. Almost everyday I see people throw things in the trash that could be recycled, for example, plastic water bottles. Why throw something away that could be re-used a couple more times, and then recycled? People are very lazy in America, and because of this, our world is being destroyed. I really believe that people need to pay better attention to what is going on in the world, and need to contribute to the fight to stop global warming, and one thing that will help this, is recycling. Plastic is one of the worst things on this planet, it isn’t natural at all, it’s takes forever to break down, but it is a high demand. Plastic water bottles aren’t the only problem though; there are many others, like plastic grocery bags. Though grocery bags are bad, people have a better knowledge about them and their harm to the Earth. Nowadays, you have to pay for grocery bags, bring re-usable bags, or sometimes, you can’t even get them. I think this is a very good solution to this waste problem, because people can really suffer from no grocery bags. These may seem like small problems, but they can be very harmful to our environment. There are easy solutions, like putting a plastic bottle in the recycling bin, or using canvas bags for your groceries. Hopefully people will take these into consideration, and start contributing to making our world a better place!
