What are the advantages and disadvantages of reducing waste?

Reducing your waste also means saving resources. It is beneficial towards society, by allowing people to limit their usage of a certain privilage in order to conserve it for the future. This is usually done effortlessly and doesn't involve any extra equipment or dramatic life changes. Steps taken by society to
reduce resources is by switching to high efficiency fluorescent light bulbs, using cold water for washing and cooking efficiently. Large amounts of water are also saved at home by fixing leaking taps, using dual-flush toilets, running washing machines and dishwashers only when full, turning the tap off while cleaning teeth, and using a control nozzle on the hose when washing the car. Of the almost scarce amount of disadvantages associated with reducing, one includes the point that even though reduction is not a major deprevation for society, it is not always efficient and many people manage to abuse or fail to follow the responsibility.
