Waste recycling and law - Argumentative essay

recycling laws to be more strict?

Some people claim that not enough of the waste from homes is recycled. They say that the only way to increase recycling is for governments to make it a legal requirement.

To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste?

Recycling of waste is one of the major act for preserving environment. However, it is also a less emphasized issue which is often argued to be implicated by legal provisions. I partially agree. This essay will discuss how legal instruments can be helpful in encouraging recycling as practice in people.

Undoubtedly, recycling should be a habit of today's society where risks of ecological disasters are high. Yet, people are still lagging behind when it comes to recycling. A recent news about recycling reported only 20% of waste collected from a council in south Australia. It seems people do not care about the issue. In contrast to this, some cities in Canada, have policies of mandatory recycling, where people are encouraged to discard waste in a recycling bin. This policy has been reported to be of grand success making the city greener and cleaner in 5 years. Citizens of that particular city claims to support the policy that has changed their dumping behavior, who also feel more responsible to the future generation. Nevertheless, people can also intimated by fear when laws are involved.

Certainly, fear should not be a reason for people to do anything in this civilized world. Rather government's responsibility should to be aware and educate people about healthy dumping behavior than terrorizing with authority, regardless of the cause. Government can launch local and nationwide campaigns about waste management behaviors. Public service announcements in radios and televisions can be one of the way of relaying the message about garbage management. Stakeholders at every level could be informed and made responsible to further provide support programs about recycling.

In summary, government should provoke it's people for good manners of dumping which are also the need of today's society. Nonetheless, people should not be abided by law to enforce such practice rather educated through awareness programs. Hence i totally disagree that government should use law for recycling.

Some grammatic errors:
One of the major actions
Practising
Citizens claim not claims
Responsible for not to
Should be aware
In the third paragraph, you just talk about the actions of the government to encourage people cycling but the task talks about the reasons why you agree the opinion

The introduction you agree the opinion but the conclusion is rather opposite

Hi @qromj19
I agree that your opinion in the introduction and in the conclusion is incompatible. Your point must remain unchanged throughout the essay.

A recent news about recycling reported only 20% of waste collected from a council in south Australia: This is an uncompleted sentence. Just check its structure.

Apart from that, your essay consists of diversed vocab and the complement of examples. That's a plus.

Overall, I find your writing impressive. Hope you find my comment useful!

Hello there. Welcome to the forum! I hope you find this feedback to be beneficial to your learning endeavors in the long-run. You can keep coming back to us for more feedback.

First and foremost, you can ditch the fancy language and instead utilize smaller chunks of concise sentences. If you do this, you'll be able to curate more substantive and meaningful content while still maintaining a rather educational tone in your essay. Apply this specifically for your first paragraph.

While I think that the second paragraph has firm thoughts backed with evidences, it appears to be rather cluttered. I would highly recommend trying to structure it with more organization with the usage of transition terminologies along the way.

Best of luck as always.

Thank you, @Cay nho, @numbus2k2 and @Maria for your constructive feedback, really appreciate. Additionally, how about an example sentences for improvement/correction or suggestion? I think that would help me a lot.
