The Modern World Good or Bad

I often think modernisation may not be such a good thing . We are now watched where ever we go , we have become a society of wasters rather than recycle and repaired . We are ruled by a minority of rich in society and modern inventions such as plastic is destroying our world due to our neglect of our natural world and we are causing the extinction of our wild life . If we dont do something really drastic now I honestly think it is probably to late . We must learn to stop building new and learn to recycle and repair . Stop the production of plastic , stop chopping down trees , and start preserving our natural world . We dont need more furniture we have 100s of 1000s of pieces in barns , antique shops etc . Instead of throwing wardrobes or draws etc repair and reuse . Appliances repair dont throw out . Houses if you must replace then save as much as possible and reuse . We are wasting far too much and it has to stop . I often watch programs on tv where you see people throwing away perfectly good items at what we call recycle centres . Throwing wood furniture into a wood bin isnt recycling its crushed for fire wood or to make laminated wood for furniture . True recycling is taking that furniture and repair and make like new . Throwing appliances in a metal bin to be crushed isnt recycling , repair and keep is recycling . If a part is worn out the manufacturer replaces and refurbishes the old far less waste and a even smaller carbon footprint . We call them recycling centres to make ourselves feel better about throwing things away instead of truly recycling the items . Next time you have a item to throw away try and find someone to recycle that item or get it repaired . With things like social media you will find 100s of talented people happy to take it off your hands and give it a second life . Charity shops and second hand furniture stores etc . Please do your bit and think before driving your bits to a so called recycling centre (rubbish dump) . It maybe the easiest but NOT the greenest way to help our planet . We used to have milk in glass bottles taken back to the dairy and reused , fizzy came in glass bottles went back to stores to be reused , veg and fruit in paper bags or loose , baskets made of wicker for shopping etc . Lets demand our shops stop selling needless plastic and go back to those times . Our shopping habits are the push needed by industry to change their ways it all starts with us . So please please think and change your habits and lets care for our world before its all to late . If we walk more or walk or use public transport then our atmosphere suffers less and when demand gets so high and habits change our fares will come down and we will have more trains and buses because demand for it will make it happen . We Can Make A Big Difference Just By Changing Our Habits .
