2012/6 CET-4作文 On Excessive Packaging Nowadays the phenomena(现象，phenomenon的复数) of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed（包围） in tissue（薄的） paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in（裹着） well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine（进口的葡萄酒） packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven（手工编织） baskets, to name but a few. There are several causes of excessive packaging. The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate （刺激）their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate（微妙，雅致） the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging. In my point of view, excessive packaging has disastrous consequences（灾难性的后果）, including the loss of precious（宝贵的） resources, excessive consumption（过度的消费） of water and energy, and unnecessary extraction of scarce land for landfill（不必要的提取稀缺土地为了垃圾掩埋）. To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures. First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict（限制，约束） excessive packaging of companies. In addition, we need to raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging does not equal to high quality and advocate packaging recycling（提倡包装回收）.
