Passion : Issues

I couldn't do a mind map of ten issues that I feel passionate about because I don't feel passionate about a lot of things, probably less than five. Therefore, I decided to choose between recycling and proper word usage. I have decided to choose recycling because I think that the images would be more interesting. So, here are my two-hundred words:

I really like doing the recycling at home and wherever I am, I like to recycle when I can and if I can't I usually take my recycling home. What I really hate is when people don't make an effort to recycle when they so easily can, it really infuriates me. I also feel the same about composting but I can understand if this happens outside a home because there aren't often composting bins. I hate it when members of my family throw compostable items into the rubbish bin instead of the compost bin which I put right below the window so they don't have to even go outside.

To be fairly honest, I really don't care about climate change and global warming, in my opinion it is just the natural increase of temperature that has been happened for a long time. I think that the Earth is just going back to the ages where the world will be really hot then it will cool down and life will start again (if the Sun doesn't destroy the Earth first). I believe that humans are just trying to delay the process. But I really like recycling for some reason. The issue I am trying to highlight here is that people aren't recycling enough, there are so many negatives to this and I am not sure whether they are aware of this but maybe there should be more more talks in schools and workplaces about this.

Recycling products can cut the size of landfills in half, landfills have a huge environmental impact. Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour. Just one of those plastic bottles can take at least 450 years to decompose. When people throw away scrap metal, we are harming the environment. By not recycling we’re also wasting finite resources. If we never recycled again that would mean that every time a manufacturer creates a new product they have to mine for the resources.

Instead of using recycled scrap metal they would have to literally go into a mine, find iron ore, mold into what they need for their product, and then start production. That’s not just time-consuming but it’s also costly.

Another example is paper; if we don’t recycle paper then every time we need more paper trees get chopped down and harvested at a mill. Not only does this process deplete our resources but it also destroys the natural habitats of other creatures, according to Panda Environmental. Additionally, trees produce oxygen.

We are already trying to reduce the amount of waste that goes into our oceans. In March of 2019, a whale washed up on the shores of a beach in the Philippines with 88 pounds of plastic in its stomach, it died a few hours later. And sadly this isn’t an isolated event. Wildlife all over the world are suffering because of us, whether directly or indirectly. Just imagine how much more waste would end up in our oceans if we stopped recycling.

Just thinking about this makes me really sad, I really can't understand why people would not recycle.

The picture I want to try and analyse would be the second one, it is called 'True Reincarnation. I think that it is trying to say that the reincarnation that we should be working towards is recycling plastic so that it can be reused to make something even better. We should help the plastic start a new better life and be reborn.
