Lately,
the standard of living in people is improving extremely quickly. As a
result, their daily needs have also increased along with the standard of
living. Their secondary and tertiary wants have become primary needs,
such as more people being able to afford to buy numerous goods once
considered as luxury items such as, cars, fridges, smartphones and
computers just to name a few. The advancement of technology has enabled a
quicker rate of manufacturing and production of goods, which creates a
higher demand for raw materials. As a result of more products
manufactured and sold to consumers, more trash is produced as people
keep up with trends by constantly purchasing the latest product and
disposing of their previous “outdated” product. As a consequence of
today’s technological advancement, most people tend to throw their used
goods without thinking twice about repairing or recycling them because
of easily available replacements.
What happens to the unwanted trash?
Where does all the trash go to after the waste collection company collects them?
Where does all the non recyclable trash go?
The Environment is adversely affected due to our own doing regardless
of ignorance or a lack of concern towards effectively protecting the
environment. People need to be educated about the impact of their
actions and the result of their inconsideration towards the environment.
Future development in technology might enable substitution of natural
resources with man-made resources, but the present is of utmost
importance, and we should contribute responsibly in conserving our
environment and the use of natural resources wisely.
