Americans generate 30 percent of the worlds garbage even though we are only 5 percent of the population. We throw away items that could easily be recycled and reused. We have grown to be a wasteful society - wasting large amounts of water and energy. There needs to be more recycling and less usage of wasteful materials such as plastic. I believe the government should enact a strict policy that makes it mandatory for all Americans and immigrants to recycle use only a certain amount of resources. If they don't abide to the policy they shall be fined.
