Not all the wastes are biodegradable, some of them need to be recycled. Nowadays we have plenty of factories where they recycle rubbish such as plastic, cloth, glass and so on. All we need to do is to separate glass, paper and plastic. By this we already do a great job and help our planet a lot. I know that there are some ecological organizations that arrange rubbish collection, they even make competitions in that. They are also here to teach people how to deal with wastes and make them aware how harmful it is for the environment.
Every day people around the world use millions of plastic bags and bottles and then throw them away which is very harmful for soil. Instead of that we can use the same bags when we go shopping and not buy new ones, or refill bottles with water. People buy things they don’t need instead of giving a new life to the old ones. For example instead of buying shorts you can just cut your jeans, or you can use your old T-shirt for mopping the floor. You can give your clothes to second hand shops or buy clothes there yourself. We have so many unnecessary things at home, which then go to the rubbish bin. Instead of that everything can be given for charity or to your friends who will probably need these things.
“Reduce, reuse, recycle” is a good rule for every person.
