**SYNTHESISE:**

Years ago there weren´t to much forms to reduce the waste of plastic and paper, now there are more ways of reducing it´s waste. But even though we have all this opportunities to help the planet, it doesn´t help to mcuh because l ittle kids are not concious about it, and older children, even if they know the consequences and the ways to prevent them, they dont do anything about it.

The situation has been improving but it still needs many improvness like to make aware students and workers, to change the

attitude of people towards what they are making to their planet, to make people concious of what they are doing, and the

consequences it brings.

Many times people make an action to reduce waste of paper and plastic and because our fault it doesnt work, so they need to

suspend it. That´s why in some cases people are making a good action to reduce waste, but we start making problems with that

so finally they need to stop it, it means that before, there were some good actions that people was making but know they cant

be done anymore.

 * How is reducing waste changing?**

Every year, there is a lot of talk about being green and making changes in our lives to live better. It is usual to hear peopple sayng that the super market is giving away reusable bags, people are planting trees and many people started recicling or being ecological.

The point is that our society is living in a disposable world where we throw everything away: Plastic spoons, paper plates, plastic bags, disposable diappers and all those plastic paper or carton materials. This new trend, is not something we have to accept, it is extremely important to help children to see the wrongs of our generation.

After all, adults are handing this problem to their children and grandchildren to solve. The only way to make a real diference is make people and children concious about this bad situation. A good way to start is looking for your garbage and the amount of waste you produce, to start controling it and reducing it at home, in the office and in school, or the places where you spend most of the time.

As an example: US population has increased, but the pounds of waste produced per person has decreased, due to reducing, reusing, and recycling waste:

//Tons of waste generated per year...//
 * 1970:** 121.1 Millions
 * 1980:** 151.6 Millions
 * 1990:** 205.2 Millions
 * 2000:** 232.0 Millions

//Population in U.S.A...//
 * 1970**: 203.9 Million people
 * 1980:** 227.2 Million people
 * 1990:** 249.9 Million people
 * 2000:** 281.4 Million people

//Pounds of waste produced per person, per day...//
 * 1970**: 3.3 Pounds
 * 1980:** 3.7 Pounds
 * 1990:** 4.5 Pounds
 * 2000:** 4.3 Pounds
