We often buy packaged or canned foods that can be transported over long distances and stored for long periods of time - first in supermarkets, and then at home.РBut I think it's also because we tend to use disposable things and throw them away. We forget that even the cheapest plastic bags consume precious resources and energy, and we forget that this is also a kind of pollution and difficult to handle.РTherefore, I think the government needs to raise public awareness. Children can learn about environmental problems in school, while adults need to take practical action. The government can encourage people to take practical action by collecting taxes on packages, such as taxing plastic bags, by providing recycling services, and by fines for families and shops that refuse to recycle rubbish.
