Most everyone owns a car, which they drive daily. Cars are a big cause of pollution in the environment these days. They are used frequently, and in many cases an average family may own as many as two or even three. Just imagine how much waste that causes just for the pure luxury of owning multiple cars. There is also the problem of all the access waste we create in other ways.
People tend to like to own things that can easily be discarded.
Paper plates, batteries, fast food containers, and many other things. We also waste a lot of extra food. All this and more really adds up after a while of everyone doing it. I know I would have to say that I was guilty of some of these things. Sadly it s just the American way.
