Our Wasteful Habits
We all need to take initiative in improving our environment by making small changes on our daily lives. Various natural resources are being destroyed daily, so that we can have a good life, but what people don’t acknowledge is that this waste will eventually damage the environment more than it is doing now. Therefore, we must make a difference by changing our wasteful habits before it is too late. Each individual is responsible for throwing away waste, such as cans, plastic bottles, electronics, and paper bags among others; therefore, we must make changes in our daily lives before the waste turns our environment into a disaster. In “Waste Not, Want Not”, Bill McKibben argues that we can make a difference by changing our …show more content…
Waste is not just trash; it has become a danger to the health of humanity, living things, and the environment. In the article “What’s the Problem with Plastic Bottles?” Zion Lights asserts that “The U.S. is the largest consumer market for bottled water in the world, followed by Mexico, Brazil, and China,” therefore, we should do something to stop because if we don’t do something all those plastic bottles will eventually end up destroy the atmosphere. It will also damage the creatures, as it will go in the oceans damaging all the species that live under water. On the other hand, people continue to use paper material and other things that come from tress, Bill McKibben claims, “A hundred million trees are cut every year just to satisfy the junk-mail industry” (McKibben 469). McKibben implies that companies care more about making a profit than about the danger they are putting everyone in. It is making every living thing on earth lose their oxygen, which is provided by the trees. Damaging our environment is having many negative effects in our society because it is making life for humans …show more content…
The waste that is thrown away daily is increasingly affecting animals maybe more than the environment because animals don’t know what to eat. They eat whatever they find and that waste can kill them. By making a few changes in our daily routines, we can save the planet in which we live and also on our monthly expenses. Some of those changes can include taking shorter showers, turning off the water when it is not being used, and carpooling with someone. Carpooling doesn’t only help to reduce pollution, but it can also help save money on the gas. By making small changes in our daily lives, we can make a big difference in our environment. We have always made bad use of water and electricity, therefore, buying Energy Star kitchen and home appliances, which are designed to help save energy, money, and prevent greenhouse gas emission. On the other hand, According to Global Warming Facts, “[replacing] a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) CFLs uses 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.” We should consider the fact that we are so lucky to have what we have, but instead we just make bad use of it. We must take care of our planet by saving water and not wasting a lot of energy. Los Angles is in a drought and if we don’t do something then one day we will
