After a a few months of drafting, revising, and editing, I've got a pretty awesome result from all what I've done. Thanks!
Do you realize that our actions have a negative impact on the environment? Human activities are the major reasons why there is loss of natural resources on the planet. Some people think that the Earth’s natural resources are infinite but others consider that it is not true. No matter what, human needs to take full responsibility to their environment. Reduce, reuse, and recycle are what we can all do to make a green and healthy planet.
First of all, doing the 3Rs helps preserve nature. The natural water around us where tons of sea creatures depend and adapt themselves to survive in, are being destroyed by the pollutants we make from waste products. Most of the beautiful rivers and lakes that we used to enjoy sitting on the side while eating ice-cream now are full of rubbish. Imagine that you would be living in such a contaminated place and breathing in all of that polluted air. Would you have been able to survive and live a happy underwater life? We can easily see that this has a very bad result in the population of sea creatures, like decreasing the biodiversity of sea life and causing the extinction of marine animals. When you reduce, reuse, and recycle, you are saving natural resources. One of them is tree. As you know, our daily products like paper, pencil, wood, and furniture are made of tree. Using recycled products can help us not only save trees but also preserve natural forests. For instance, some schools recommend teachers and staffs to reuse and recycle paper to make new fashionable designs for the students to wear at the fashion shows. Doing the 3Rs is very helpful towards preventing pollution. Most trash are buried underground while others are sent to incinerators. Let’s guess where dust and smoke from incinerators go next, of course the air. There have been some air clearing systems that are not being used effectively. Hence, when we recycle,we can minimize the large amount of waste as well as the environment pollution. A good example is in Japan, where it has become one of the most successful countries in recycling wastes. According to the nation’s Plastic Waste Management Institute, 77% of plastic waste were recycled in Japan in 2010.
Another reason for doing the 3Rs is to protect our living areas. When we categorize trash that is sent to landfills, we have found many materials that can be reusable and recyclable. Based on my experience about my father’s environmental career, he has identified that a small portion of the trash buried underground are recyclable and reusable materials. In addition, the more we start recycling, reusing, and reducing, the more land areas we save. In fact, no one really wants to live on trash and if this situation continues, there probably would not be any space left in the future for next generations to inhabit. It is a convincing reason for why we need to start being more aware of the waste products. You probably do not know how much electronic waste is delivered to landfills. E-waste that are often buried underground could lead to many different problems such as mixing up with the groundwater, contaminating the soil with chemicals, negatively affecting on our health and the food chains. Recycling e-waste will protect our natural resources. We recycle old electronic device, we can use the old materials to produce new electronic equipments. After electrical goods were used, we should take them to providers or manufacturers to be recycled. Recycling opens up a bigger chance for more people to work. When a recycling project is underway, many unemployed people will have a chance to work and earn a living. Furthermore, when citizens work for a recycling company, they become more aware of the environment damage and know how to make better decisions.
There are many ways for you to get started with reducing, reusing, and recycling. As we can see, our schools produce a lot of wastes from papers. To sort out this problem, a simple step we can take is to notify teachers, staff, and students to start placing paper-recycling bins in class. When we have finished using both sides of the paper, all we need to do is to throw it into the paper-recycling bin. We, moreover, can start purchasing recycled paper instead of brand new paper made from trees, so as to help us save paper and preserve the environment. Many supermarkets have promoted using reusable eco-friendly bags to reduce the amount of plastic bags. For example, BigC, one of the supermarkets in Ho Chi Minh city is encouraging shoppers to purchase affordable “green’ reusable bags. Planting trees is a great way for you to conserve the environment. Tree is a vital natural resource that take part in keeping this environment green and and providing oxygen for us. Some students spent their time volunteering in environmental activities to help plant trees and pick up garbage. If those students can spend their time planting trees, why don't we do the same?
To sum up this essay, the 3Rs are extremely helpful and efficient for the environment and our life because it is able to help preserve nature and protect our living areas. Just think about what Mother Nature has given to us and think about what you’ve done to destroy it. In my opinion, I suggest that we use her wonderful gift more wisely. You have just read about the amazing benefits so you should get started right away and begin your journey towards a greener and healthier planet.
