Why is the world producing so much garbage? Garbage is an | |
unavoidable result of consumption. And to __1__ the high standard of | |
living that has been reached in many industrialized countries, we | |
must continue to consume, as the consumption keeps the wheel of | |

the earth to feed the machines of industry, which __2__ produce | |
endless quantities of consumer goods. What we haven’t been able to | |
do, however, is to find a successful way to __3__ all the by-products | |
of industry and the products themselves when they are used up, worn | |
10 | out, or outdated. |
One of the biggest causes of the garbage problem is the world’s | |
exploding population. More and more people mean more and more | |
waste. Before the industrial revolution, when the world population | |
was very small, the problem of garbage did not exist. Whatever waste | |
15 | was produced then could be absorbed by the earth without __4__ |
nature’s balance, but nature can no longer cope with the amount of | |
garbage that is currently being produced. |
