Everyone should be encouraged to use fewer resources rather than recycle more (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

It is often argued that nowadays it is much more essential to use as few resources as possible rather than trying to recycle them. Although I agree that spending the least amount of resources should be fostered, I think that recycling is a better way to reduce the amount of waste and to help the environment.

On the one hand, using as few resources as you can has always been one of the most significant part of all environmental protection programs. By using this way of reducing the amount of waste and saving environment it can be seen a significant success. Every citizen may decrease the amount of recourses he is consuming. For example, it is nothing to turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, but if every person of the world will do this simply thing – it will be saved a great amount of world’s supply of water.

That’s why motivating people to reduce the number of resources they use may be advisable and lead to results.

On the other hand, recycling has received a great response over the past 10 years. Lots of countries have installed garbage bins for sorting waste and more and more second-shops are opening every year. Recycling waste is much more convenient in case that it does not needed from a citizen to limit himself. For instance, if you cannot imagine your life without writing something on paper every day, you will be able to utilize written sheets so you may use as much paper as you want. Thus, resource recycling is another way of saving environment which has its own advantages.

To conclude, though it seems that consuming fewer resources is more useful and simply, recycling has its own benefit as you do not have to refuse something or reduce the consumption of the resource.
