Comment 02- Rubbish!!!

Global warming is a huge topic at the moment and one of the reasons is the rubbish we produce. Nearly everything we do leaves behind some kind of waste. Households create ordinary garbage which consists of everyday items we use and then throw away, such as food, plastics, furniture, clothes, bottles, paper, etc. The fact is people produce too much rubbish and protecting the environment should be everybody´s concern today!

To begin with, we should know that the main part of the rubbish is either burned or taken to enormous landfill sites. They are both harmful for the environment! We can help the planet by reusing or recycling household rubbish! Most of the garbage generated in the household can be recycled and reused. For example, organic kitchen waste such as leftover foodstuff, vegetable peels, spoilt or dried fruits and vegetables, plastic, paper and glass are some of the items that can be reused or recycled. We should all have in our homes two or three waste bins: one for paper waste, another one for plastic waste and the last one for organic waste. Sort your rubbish!

In addition, recycling saves energy, reduces rubbish burning and saves natural resources. As recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps protect our planet from the climate change.

To sum up, producing less rubbish and recycling waste, have a lot of benefits for both people and the environment.
