Read the passage below.

 

Think of the trash you throw away each day—the candy wrappers, paper, styrofoam boxes, plastic cups, soda cans, and everything else. Where does it go?

Garbage is collected once or twice a week and taken to a garbage dump. The problem is we are running out of dumping sites. Many of them are full. Some of them are just mountains of exposed garbage which is also dangerous to our health.

We should make a conscious effort to cut down the amount of garbage we make. We can recycle things. Save plastic bags and use them again. Use cloth rags, which can be washed, instead of paper towels or tissue paper. Collect bottles, old newspapers and papers, and instead of throwing them away, sell them.
