Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Products are not produced in a "green" way. It leads to the new pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of wastes like glass, paper and plastics are produced. The waste problem is difficult to deal with.
However, today, people have realized the importance of buying and using environmentally- friendly products. More and more people are choosing "green" and expecting that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these, "Will this soap be bad for the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"
Over 20,000 people took part in a web survey on buying environmentally-friendly products. Among them, 8,129 people say that they now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. That is to say, companies must change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are "green".
A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds of them. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products. The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business of them. The public will no longer accept the old idea of "buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." As a result, the companies have to take action.
