A throw-away society

(AN INTERMEDIATE READING LESSON)

The term ‘throw-away society’ refers to our tendence to throw things away instead of using them again.

However, this is not totally our fault! Some things are created in order to break, so that we will have to buy more products in the future.

In this week’s lesson, we are reading about the causes of our throw-away society, and what we can do to make things better.

It is based on an article by The University of Colorado, Trashing a Throw-Away Society

I hope you enjoy this lesson.
