The whole world needs a huge clean up and we should start with large trash heaps, such as Behala. Every year we dump 2.12 billion tons of waste. It’s mainly because 99% of what we buy turns into trash within 6 months. I strongly believe that the whole world needs a huge clean up and we should start with large trash heaps, such as behala. Firstly, I will talk about recycling, secondly, I will talk about the links with trash and lastly, I will talk about how to overcome the world’s problem of trash. Firstly – Recycling – 75% if our waste is recyclable but we only recycle 30%. We tend to not recycle and only put things in the red or green rubbish bins. Sometimes we recycle and it is okay to forget. When we recycle, we can use it more times and it is not thrown away or burnt and pollute the environment. We can all make a change in life just by recycling. Secondly, the book Trash strongly relates to this subject. Behala is mentioned in the book and main character, Raphael describes it to be a ‘huge, monstrous, steaming rubbish dump.’ He also says there are two types of rubbish, good and bad: good being newspaper, plastic and glass, bad being disgusting things; which brings me back to recycling. Lastly, many people are trying to overcome the world problem of trash. Many people are trying to save the world and some of the things are they doing are, saving forests, clean production, conscious shopping, fair trade, blocking landfills and many more. The reason why I am telling you this is because we always want more and I learnt from a video that the world is slowly being destroyed. Therefore, that is why we need to be conscious. In conclusion, I hope you think about this hard and remember that, trash is made by people. ‘We are people and we have the power to resolve the trash’ ( quoted by me ). Once again I strongly believe the whole world needs a huge clean up and we should start with large trash heaps, such as Behala.
