With the development of societies, human beings have been exploiting and overusing resources but they have the limit. This problem is not exceptional for my country, Vietnam. The recent concerns are how to deal with the increasing amount of rubbish, how to reuse and recycle things that we dispose, actually taking the perspective of a future engineer, I think zero waste system seems to promise potential to solve that. First of all, Vietnam is also in a similar context with many other countries, using more and more resources for industries to catch up the common development of the world and serving the increasing needs of people. Rubbish is, however, not treated well by the current method: landfills. A conspicuous problem is that waste is constantly leaking from reservoirs and causes many pollutions to our living environment and harms humans’ health. Incinerators could be considered as alternative methods, however, it required much energy to burn rubbish and might exhaust some poisonous gases. In contrast, with zero waste system, we could classify kinds of rubbish and separate them into particular recycling process. So we can reduce significantly the amount of rubbish released into the environment, and also reduce the need for incinerators and landfills. That means we also prevent the risks from the leakage of waste from landfills and the cost for incinerators. In addition, by recycling used products, turning rubbish into the useful products, we can have a small business, create jobs for people and make money. In conclusion, I, a would-be engineer, strongly believe that zero waste system could be applied in my home country to solve the increasing amount of rubbish, prevent pollution in natural environment by reusing and recycling used products.

well done and come on! good luck on your final exam!
I agree with you. I also think zero waste management seems more potential. All materials can be reused, recycled and repaired;thus, no undesired waste is produced. It sounds fantastic, doesn't it? As a engineering undergratuates, I hope all of us can do something good for our environment.
