WHAT A WASTE
1. The Throw - Away Society Many countries bury and forget millions of townes of rubbish every year. But we don't have to throw away all our waste* paper, glass, metal and plastic. We can also burn or recycle* a lot of it. In fact waste can be wonderful stuff. The Green World dossier reports. 2. Packaging. Almost all supermarket food today comes in paper or plastic containers*. Some of this 'packaging' is necessary. It keeps the food clean and fresh. It also makes it lost longer. But some packaging isn't necessary al all. It’s just there to make the food look better. 3.Did you know...? 1. In Britain, over 75.000 people work in packaging factories. 2. The UK packaging industry sells 4 billion pounds of paper and plastic containers every year. 3. 28% of domestic* rubbish is packaging. 4. 5% of all Britain’s energy goes into making packaging. 4. The Green Answers. Here are three ways to beat the throw-away society. All of them are cleaner and cheaper than burying rubbish. Throw Away Less Rubbish. In Denmark, for example, it’s illegal to sell drinks in cans. And it's not just governments which can produce less rubbish. It’s ordinary people, too. For example, anyone can decide to - ...buy products with as little packaging as possible - ...use and throw away fewer carrier bags - ... waste less paper. Turn Rubbish into Energy. How? By burning it. This is a good idea because it ... - ...saves fossil fuels - ...means burying less rubbish - ...cuts pollution. (Energy from rubbish is cleaner and cheaper than energy from fossilfuels.) - At the moment, most countries only turn between 5% and 10% of their rubbish into energy. 5. Use Rubbish Again. A lot of what we throw away is still useful. It’s possible, in fact, to recycle 80% of domestic rubbish. This includes most kinds of paper, glass, metal and plastic. But there’s a problem. Recycling is expensive. That's why (at the moment) we only recycle about 15% of glass, 20% of plastic and 30% of paper. But it’s getting cheaper and easier to recycle all the time. One reason for this is the growing number of recycling centres. (For example, there are more 'bottle banks’ today than ever before.) Also, some countries now have recycling laws. These mean that supermarkets pay customers to return tins and bottles.
