Rubbish, a product of people’s everyday activity, presents another problem. Regularly, people buy alot ofconsumer goods and foodstus. Asaresult they have tothrow away many plastic bags, bottles, boxes, shampoo containers, etc. ese large amounts ofwaste are taken tothe dumps, usually outside atown. Not only dothese useless things litter the place, but also pollute the atmo­sphere. According to research, the average household produces literally tons ofwaste per month, alot ofwhich consists ofplastic packaging, which isnot biodegradable. All these things aswell asthe old cars and newspapers could berecycled, which would change the situation for the better. Recycling isgood because itmeans that few­er supplies are wasted, especially paper, whose production destroys trees. Besides, making plastic infactories produces harmful gases, soby recycling plastic bags and containers wehelp tokeep pollu­tion level low. Pollution from factories in turn will lead toacid rain which will mean less oxygen being produced bytrees.
