Recycling is part of our everyday life, or at least it should be. Some countries in the world take this extremely seriously, some don’t. To make our planet run and function we need to take recycling and our waste to a much higher level.
This is a long and slowly moving process so in the timeframe of 1-5 lying years I don’t think that there would be a lot of changes. It takes time to teach people about the right way to recycle and were to throw their garbage. Also people don’t seem to get the message that this is a serious matter and that the world is a disposable place.
In 5-65 years we probably could have a ton a waste just lying on the streets. All the recycling stations would be so packed with rubbish that there wouldn’t be any room to put it all. People would get sick from breathing in all the toxics and we would literally live in our own dirt...
But all this is preventable if we start to take this issue more seriously. One key factor would be not to use so much disposable material and stuff that you only use ones and then throws away. Everybody needs to make a change to help save the world, otherwise our planet would probably look a lot different for the next generations.
