The great plastic garbage patch..

The great plastic garbage patch..
Garbage is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean . In this ocean there's an area the northern Pacific Gyre . I this circular movement , the Currents collect garbage . And , 90 percent of this garbage is plastic . Eighty percent of it comes from land . The garbage come fro every country whose shoreline touches the Pacific . A sailor named Charles Moore discovered the patches in 1997 , when sailing near Hawaii. He calculated that there were more 3 million tons of plastic in the water . All of this garbage is hurting the environment . Fish and seabirds often think little pieces of plastic are a king of food . However , most plastic is not biodegradable . Scientists say that cleaning up the garbage patches is impossible . We have to control the amount and keep beaches.

Summarizing..
1- Zero Waste it is new idea for dealing with all the garbage in the world . Some cities like San Francisco already recycle 68percent of their trash . A company that's recycling food waste they put it all together and turn it into compost .

2- Before they started, Chris and her husband counted all the plastic items they used in a month. The total was 603, so for one month, they tried to live without plastic. They didn't succeed in not using any plastic, but they did bring the number of items down to 106.

Consider the ideas..
I think that recycling is a great thing. The problem is that we produce too much garbage in the first place. Some people will say that this is unfair because large families will pay more than people living a lot. Other things like water and electricity.

1- Sometimes I heard someone use the phrase "throwaway society " . It is used as away of saying that we are too materialistic . The means of this thing too much of our stuff today s poor quality instead of being built to last .

2- The opposite way that we live in a throwaway society isn't a sign that things are worse . The true we don't repair things as much as we used to . And it's better that way .

3- To replace instead of repair shows that people are wealthy . Some people think that products today are less dependable than they used to be . In the other hand , most people would rather have something with a newer design , and vote with their wallets .

4- There are three reasons for Mad Anthony.first, lower prices. It costs less to make items, so they sell for less. Second, in creased wealth. People have more money than they did in the past. Those clothes were valuable, expensive and formed a significant part of their budget.

5- Another reasons for Mad Anthony is increased features. There is a good chance that the latest model includes some cool features that did not exist when your old one made. I hardly ever use my phone for an actual phone call any more because it can do so many other wonderful things. The benefit of increased features is another reason to buy something new. The throwaway society shows us how good.

Think before you toss

1- In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it. There are problem such as : have growing mountains of trash. For example, In the USA per person throw there trash more than 1960.

2- Products are plentiful and prices are low, so we would rather buy something new than repair it. We did want to repair something, many items-from toasters to TVs-are almost impossible to repair. These products contain many tiny, complicated parts. Some contain small computer chips. It's easier to throw these items away and buy new ones than to fix them.

3- factor is our love of disposable product. We are always looking for ways to save time and make our lives easier. We should use cloth kitchen towels. It is easier to use a paper towel once and toss it out. Companies manufacture thousands of different kinds of disposable items, such as paper plates. Plastic cups, cameras, and razors for shaving.

Also, only about 18% of electronic are recycled.
