Things：The Throw-Away Society

A few days ago, I cleaned up my room and found out many things

like books, old clothes, and toys. Not knowing how to deal with them, I

felt very upset. At last, I had no choice but to throw them away. However,

I can’t help myself thinking about the things I threw away. I don’t dare to

calculate how much loss we will cause, and how much rubbish we may

make, if everyone throw things away like me. As a matter of fact, there

are much more things are thrown away everyday. It is no wonder that our

society was called the throw-away society.

Maybe some people will say that the matter is much exaggerated.

Unfortunately, it’s a truth which you may find out the answer by looking

around you. The rubbish dump is always full, the street is always

crowded with garbage, the rubbish even hides in the bushes.

How could this terrible situation happen? First of all, there are so

many one-off products in our society such as disposable

chopsticks,plastic bags, throw-away lunchbox, etc. These one-off

products are being used in a great deal owing to their cheapness and

convenience. In addition, people do not pay much attention to the things

they throw just throw away the things which they think they

don’t need, without thinking whether it is really not needed, without

thinking whether it can be recycled or not. The most important point is

people do not have the idea of share. On the one hand, people become

much selfish today. Some people are so afraid to be taken advantage of,

so that, they would rather throw away their old things than share. It

reminds me of my neighbour who often chucks away his leftover not

willing to give them to the stray cats. On the other hand, people are too

peacockish to receive others’ share. Some people say it is shame to use

things being used by others before.

In order to prevent the throw-away situation from being worse, some

measures must be first, we should control both the production

and the use of the disposable things. People should be encouraged to use

the recycling products. What’s more, people’s awareness about

sustainable development should be improved. For example, when you

want to throw away something, think twice before you throw it. Don’t

throw it before you are very sure that it is useless. Last but not least, learn

to share and get share. If you have something you don’t want it anymore,

give them to the one who need it. If you need something shared by

others’,take it bravely, because there is no shame to be a environmentally

friendly person.

Many factors contribute to the throw-away society which is a great

tragedy for us, however, we still have chance to change it,as long as we

want.
