Waste and Disposable Items

Just yesterday, I had to sort through my childhood toys. As I sorted them into piles which I wanted to keep and which ones I wanted to throw away, I was shocked by the amount of waste. Things that were deemed unfit to pass on or to donate to charities were thrown in the bin. It was really appalling just how many usable things were just thrown away. All of these things are going to end up in landfill, contaminating the ground for decades to come. But it wasn't just toys that were thrown away, it was pieces of puzzles, little pieces of plastic and other little pieces of stuff I had been given over the years. It all went in the bin. Everything in today's society is viewed as being disposable. Companies actually pride themselves making items that are easy to dispose of when you are done. Containers, bottles, packets, bibs, cameras and many more. All of these items are designed to be thrown away when you are finished with them. I can guarantee that if you go looking through your house, you will find many disposable items. Next time you go to supermarket try to look for reusable items instead of disposable ones. You will be doing the environment a favour and you will be able to stop constantly buying disposable items.
