   Garbage is a big problem all over the world. People buy and use a lot of things nowadays. After a while, they throw them away in the garbage bin. All the garbage is later thrown away or dumped outside the city. These places are called landfill sites. In many cities, landfill sites are now full.

   We have to manage our waste and garbage better. If we throw away so many things, soon we will have no place to dump them. The best thing to do is to reduce the amount of garbage. If we use less, we throw away less. For instance, we can buy food in big boxes and packages. Then we throw away only one box every month or so. Otherwise, we throw away many small boxes or cans every day.

   Similarly, we can reuse a lot of packaging. For example, we do not have to buy take-out coffee in Styrofoam cups, which are made of aluminum - a toxic material to the environment. We can bring our own cup from home and fill it with fresh coffee.

   We also do not have to take the plastic bags from the supermarket. We can bring our own cloth bag from home instead. When we pack lunch, it is better to use a lunch box than a paper bag. Instead of paper plates, we can use real plates. We can clean up with a dishtowel, not a paper towel. We can use a compost bin for food scraps. In this way, the food gets back into the earth. It does not get mixed up with the regular garbage.

   Finally, all paper, glass and metal we do use, we can recycle. In many countries, there are now recycling programs. In Germany, for example, people separate all glass bottles by color. Then they put the bottles into special bins that are on the street. The city collects the glass, cleans it, and reuses it. As well, in most countries, people recycle newspapers and cardboard. It is easy and efficient.

SOLAR ENERGY

Sunlight carries huge amounts of energy. You can feel the Sun’s energy when sunlight warms your skin on a summer day. To capture the Sun’s energy, scientists have developed solar cells, called photovoltaic cells. These cells convert sunlight into electricity.

When sunlight hits a solar cell, some of the light energy is absorbed. This light energy causes the particles in the solar cell to move faster, and the movement of these particles creates electricity.

In some places, large panels of solar cells harvest sunshine to make electricity for homes and businesses. Solar cells have been placed on cars and appliances, too. Since the Sun sends abundant free energy streaming toward Earth 24 hours a day, people in many parts of the world, not just the sunniest places, have fixed solar cells and solar panels on the roofs of their houses or businesses to lower their energy costs.

Experts say that the huge installation of solar panels in sunny regions could generate

enough electricity to supply an entire country. Capturing this energy can help overcome our diminishing energy supply. New ways  to capture this energy are being developed an

the time to maximize efficiency.

Space exploration is much too expensive and the money should be spent on more important things. What is your opinion?

It's often argued that space exploration is too expensive and the money should be spent on more important things. This essay disagrees with that suggestions completely because of the benefits space exploration brings to the people. The essay will first look at how space exploration has effected in our life and then discuss how it would help the human in the future.
First of all, a plethora of technologies we are using nowadays was invented based on space research. The scientists launch the satellite into space. Then they will the information from it to work out new ideas. For example, we can see roads, houses, restaurants, schools,.e.t.c on the Google Map very clearly. It's because the satellites send photos they have taken to the centre on the Earth. This helps me a lot because I often feel arduous while try to find the correct road.
Furthermore, the population of the world is increasing day by day. This is the reason why we should find out a new planet that we can live in. I think this is quite possible and this will affect a lot in our life. For instance, finding a new planet that we can live in can decrease some problems which are caused by high population such as the traffic jam, the pollution and there is not enough food, job and houses for people today.
In recapitulation, space exploration should be improved to make further technologies and solve the serious problem on the Earth that we are facing.​
