The correlation between the ever-growing retail goods industry and environmental damage is not exactly an alien concept to many. In fact, seeing how vulnerable our natural surroundings are to consumer goods production, one cannot help but wonder if this sort of environmental degradation can be mitigated. Nonetheless, from my point of view, identifying solutions would likely be a Herculean task without any effort to investigate contributing factors first.
It might be proper, perhaps, to analyze the causes of the rapid growth in population. The unfettered growth of urban demographics would most likely be accompanied by rising demands for retail goods. Demand would precede production and consumption that scales with it. Moreover, for convenience, many items are double packaged, such as a tube of toothpaste sold in a cardboard box, which is unnecessary. Together with high consumption, this could only result in gigantic mountains of waste, jeopardizing the environment.
Yet, I am in no position to really suggest that, to steer this demand towards a more manageable direction, we should convince people to want less. A more appropriate course of action, instead, would be to target links in the supply chain, such as the packaging and utensils, where differences can be made by phasing out plastic and letting degradable or less detrimental materials supersede it. As a matter of fact, some governments have already implemented policies toward this aim. In the UK, since 2015, shoppers have been charged 50 pence for each plastic bag they take to carry merchandise or bring their reusable bags. Meanwhile, in places where government oversight might be lacking, enterprises should look to incorporate “green” initiatives into their business model. Vietnam is far from a world leader in environmental legislation, yet several local café chains have eliminated plastic straws completely. Even individual consumers could shoulder their share of the responsibility by something as simple as refusing plastic shopping bags when offered.
In conclusion, if one is to find solutions for this issue, rapid population increase ought to be first looked at as the source. It is also advisable that the measures be implemented in tandem to derive the most positive impact. Without a concerted effort, intentions to avert the degradation of our environment are likely to be underrealized.
