Wasting things has indeed been getting serious today. There are a variety of possible reasons for this, but steps can be taken to tackle this problem.

In my opinion, three main factors cause people cannot use things for a long time. Firstly, technology innovation and mass production have reduced the cost of production. Thus, people can afford more things than before. Men become accustomed to buying whatever they want, and they find it difficult to reuse old goods. Secondly, if people lose frugality consciousness, there must be a big problem with environmental protection because they have not yet realized that their way of life will lead to energy consumption as well as environmental pollution.  Finally, people are influenced by the over-hype of businesses, which give magical functions for something and lead the public into the trap of consumerism.

Throw-away behaviour can certainly be improved. I believe that the change must start with consumers. They need to improve their saving consciousness because it can change their way of using things. Also, environmental groups can teach people how to recycle disposable goods and reusing waste objects that might be thrown away.. At the same time, the public should guide the people to rational consumption and reuse old things instead of blindly paying. For example,  shoot more PSAs about frugality.

In conclusion, society will continue to face discipline problems unless individuals, groups and public figures change together.

In some people’s view, nowadays, people waste things lots of time rather than using them for a long time. Why does this condition happen and what should we do to solve this problem?

For one reason, many people’s consciousness of frugality is weakening gradually. We cannot deny that people are living in a prosperous society. It is easier to get things than before, especially on the internet. They can buy anything, provided they have money. It seems that our resources are infinite. Thereby, some people think they don’t need frugality anymore.  But they are not realized their ways of life will lead to energy consumption as well as pollution. For another reason, the updating productions indirectly promote them to waste. In order to catch the fashion trend, women buy more clothes. For enjoying the advanced technology, men purchase for new  mobile phones. Hence, people cannot use one thing for a long time. In addition, technological innovation reduce the cost of production and people can afford many things than before.

Aim to this problem, I come up with two advice for society and consumers. As government, providing more education about thrift and rational consumption is better for people. For example, trying to create more PSAs and  organize some recycling competitions to educate people saving things.  As consumers, they should improve their saving consciousness and attempt to be green people. For example, giving that outdated mobile phones to their parents or grandparents and donate clothes which are out of fashion to someone who need them. In a word, recycling and reusing everything as much as possible.

Material affluence and saving consciousness shortage are main reasons for people to waste. To address this problem, people need to take action together with three society and improve their thrift consciousness.
