The causes and solutions of a throw-away society

In today’s world, people like to throw products quickly, even if they are still in contact and functional. It is important to know the reason why this trend has developed, and so some measures can be taken into consideration.
With the blooming of advanced technologies, the cost of various kinds of products is relatively low, in contrast to the past. Many products with complex production processes, including smartphones, computers, electronic tablets and stuff like that, almost realize mass production, which is way more time-consuming as well as labor-consuming. With the production cost decreasing, people are more likely to afford these devices to a large extent. So in some cases, if these commodities are broken, they will replace them with a newer model instead of recycling them.
On the other hand, the public doesn’t recognize their throw-away habit can have an adverse effect on the whole society’s environment. The original materials of every item are obtained from the natural environment while deliberate and random throwing are able to cause damage to the local nature at the same time, all of which I suppose people don't have a basic ground in them. For example, in order to produce an appliance, workers need to get original materials, such as metals, plastics and so on, from nature. If people decide to throw it after using few times, it will be difficult to degrade, and as time goes by, it will release some toxic gases into the air, which definitely pose a threat to people’s health and air quality.
There are indeed some methods to solve this problem. On the one hand, the government has the right to enact some laws to restrict people’s consumption. For instance, society is able to impose taxes to different degrees on certain goods, like household appliances and electronic devices. In this way, it can efficiently discourage people to buy some items that are still recycled, helping people develop a habit of recycling and being helpful to the environment. Apart from that, the government is supposed to come up with ideas to raise people’s awareness of environmental protection. For example, holding some lectures or activities on a regular basis in some communities is an excellent way. And also there will probably be more lessons at school that focus on developing children’s abilities to reuse necessary items rather than throw them away deliberately.
In conclusion, the rapid development of technologies and the lack of environmental awareness of building a recycling society contribute to a throw-away society. The government and schools should tack actions to solve or reverse this issue.
