On Over-packaging

Nowadays manufacturers pay more attention to the package or wrapping of products to attract consumers’ eyes. These commodities with (1)splendid appearance do (2)appeal to a lot of consumers and sell well in the market. But on the other hand, over packaging does lead to many(3)undeniable problems.

Firstly, the materials used in packaging, such as paper, rubber, plastic, are important industrial materials that have a wide use ih our daily life. So that those materials should not (4) be used lavishly in packaging. Secondly, over packaging also (5) generates a lot of garbage which is not

(6) degradable. It is reported that 20 percent of our annual garbage comes from excessive wrapping. Thirdly, over packaging has also cultivated an unhealthy consumption habit and (7) promoted harmful tendencies.

As far as I am concerned, the most important function of a product is its practicability rather than its luxurious packaging. Therefore, I suggest the government tighten supervision on commodity packaging and take measures to encourage light-packaging of commodities. [本题分数]： 106.0 分
