This fairly throw-away attitude or culture has

Become the worst problem of our time.
This throw away attitude/culture of ours is the result of industrialization and urbanization of
nations. Due to the masses entering the cities cheap and easy to use produces were invented to
meet the demand of the people. But due to consumerism and the free market over production
happened.

Especially here in the Philippines where the throw away culture is wide spread. It could be seen
everywhere places like Sali Sali stores and small convenient stores products like nestle and datu
puti small packets of powdered milk or soy sauce and be bought at the price of 8-10 php. That
solo go’s with other plastic produces like plastic bottles and with the increase in popularity of
milk tea the plastic used in those are also contributing to the problem. A research from the the
manila bulletin (https://mb.com.ph/2021/06/22/throw-away-mentality/) Found that the in
2019 the Philippines generates 256 million in plastics alone. So to solve this problem is we must
enact it in law that for every violator will be finned big time. And we must have a proper and
well managed waste disposal system like the schedule of the garbage disposal here in
koronadal is messed up.

So in conclusion we must have a proper waste disposal system and we must enact into law so
that we can manage this crisis that we have and so the populace can be disciplined that my
must properly dispose of their trash to save the planet.
