In today’s world the importance of recycling is becoming greater of a concern both for the general public and also to the economy. Recycling has become a major issue as scientific research has been suggesting for years that the earth is being depleted too fast to sustain a healthy balance. The earth’s natural resources are being consumed at a rate that reinforces the idea that we are living for today and the future generations will be paying for the consequences.
However many people and just as importantly businesses are realizing the problem at hand and the importance of recycling. Recycling along with reducing consumption is our best means to counter the damage we have been doing to the earth for centuries. The importance of recycling is now held in such a high regard even famous people are taking up the plight. Al Gore is now on a mission to educate the world on the effects of global warming. He is also concerned about how we can reduce the causes of global warming. A major part reducing the warmingis how we can recycle much of what we use instead of turning it into unusable waste. Recycling is incredibly important as a means to reduce poisonous emissions into the atmosphere and also to spare our natural resources.
Today many companies and individuals are improving their recycling habits by coming up with ways to reduce what they use. They are also reusing much of the original materials sent out for consumer use. The importance of recycling is not only beneficial for the earth but also for businesses as they secure better relations with the consumers over the matter of saving the environment. They will also spend less on production costs and the consumers will pay less for the goods which will encourage more purchasing as their dollar will have more value on recycled products. People want to support companies that have a positive influence in society and that can be respected for reasons of morality. When companies and the consumers can work together they can combine the importance of recycling and truly make a difference to the Earth’s health.
Firstly when tackling the problem with recycling, there should be more government intervention. You state that businesses are starting to realise the impact that this is happening yet personally I believe they still do little to change their ways for the sake of the environment, but for the public image they receive and the better relations with consumers.
More government intervention by the means of fiscal policy i.e. increase in taxes to businesses that produce the most waste, this will give incentives to business to take the initiative to recycle further. Due to globalisation, it is getting easy for business to have their production process in different parts of the world where cheap labour and loose environmental laws cater for business not to care about the environment.
I believe that it is important to understand that when it comes to the environment certain companies and countries have no morals regarding recycling, if they did then countries would not be transporting their rubbish to be filled in waste lands in Africa.
It is apparent that many of us feel the same about the policies surrounding this issue. What can we do together to change this?
NOTHING??
