b) Suggested Answer

The amount of household waste that we produce is on the increase. Most food comes in plastic containers, which are taken to huge landfills when we are finished with them. Landfills are getting full, however, so what can we do to help?

To begin with, we could recycle food containers by finding a new use for them. Metal tins can be made into something new rather than just thrown away. In this way, there will be less rubbish going into landfills.

Another way to help is to compost our food waste. For instance, vegetable peel can be put into the soil in our back garden. This will make better quality soil and enable more plants to grow.

In conclusion, there are many ways in which we can reduce the amount of rubbish we create. By recycling plastic and metal, and reusing food waste, we can help to make the world a cleaner place for everyone.
