Why can’t we save this world by recycling

I recently got hitched and since then my shopping list has grown enormously. And though I have been enjoying it, I’ve also grown sort of depressed. The cause is the kind of waste we create every other day. We have bottles, plastic bags and empty tins to just name a few.

.

Now, I know the first world is way ahead of us in terms of recycling. But I just wonder if we can take some kind of global responsibility on anything we see wasteful. Like making sure used bottles and tins end up in the right place for refuse or safe disposal.

Can we just try and be efficient in our own unique ways. Outsmart yourself, is what I meant to say. For example, we all ought to separate our kitchen and other household wastes—not the kind meant for the sewer line for Christ’s sake—by putting them in a smaller bags in the hope that it will ease the effort of someone sifting through our wastes, trying to recycle it. I’m so conscious of this effort that when I go shopping I’m never embarrassed to carry my own household shopping bag whenever I can.

And when the item is so small and single, and I’m without my shopping bag, I offer to forgo the plastic bag and carry the item with bare my hands. So if you see me carrying an onion in my hand, please I’m no weirdo. I’m just trying to save my world!! I’m aware of the law of chance and I’m trying to use it to our advantage. If only everyone would too!

Waste not want not seems to have passed through this era without many people noticing it. Let’s think about it and save our world together.
