ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Throw-away society

Throw-away society is when people use something once and then throw it away instead of using it again. For example, instead of buying a bag to carry things in that can be used multiple times, people choose to buy plastic bags that are single-use, and then they throw them away. This creates a lot of waste and pollutes the environment, which is bad for us and for animals.
