Disposable items make our lives convenient, but they are not eco-friendly. Paper cup, disposable chopsticks and disposable containers are used in massive amounts around us. Packaging and containers for various products are also disposable goods. Recycling is well-practiced in Korea, so these items are recycled quite well. Even so, little can be done about the waste of resources and environmental pollution caused by excessive use of disposable goods. The only solution is to refrain from using disposable items. Because Korea is small, the shortage of landfills is a major problem. To solve the problem, it's important for us to reduce the use of disposables and to recycle more efficiently.

Look at all this garbage. I feel ashamed

You're right. We throw away too much.

We should use fewer disposable goods.

I'm with you. Let's see what we can change.
