[170713] Disposable Items 일회용품

Talk about disposable items we use in our daily lives.

Disposable items make our lives more convenient, but they are not eco-friendly.

Paper cups, disposable chopsticks and disposable containers are used in massive amounts around us.

-> in massive amounts 다량으로

Packaging and containers for various products are also disposable goods.

Recycling is well-practiced in Korea, so these items are recycled quite well.

-> well-practiced 잘 시행된

Even so, little can be done about the wast of resources and environmental pollution caused by excessive use of disposable goods.

-> little can be done 어쩔 수 없다.

The only solution is to refrain from using disposable items.

Because Korea is small, the shortage of landfills is a major problem.

-> landfill (쓰레기) 매립지

To solve this problem, it's important for us to reduce the use of disposables and to recycle more efficiently.
