Do not litter!
Littering can hurt people, animals, and plants. So many
critters get stuck in cans and bottles and starve to death. Also 80% of all
litter is food packaging! Plus every year millions of birds and sea animals die
from litter. And if that’s not enough every year little children get hurt or
cut on litter and need medical attention. If we don’t do something then numbers
will only grow. However, these shocking facts can be changed, and this world
will be a cleaner, happier, environment.
But that’s not all even more than you think is going on. When
people litter it can harm or stunt plant growth. And every year in Pennsylvania alone thousands of vehicles get into accidents accrue because of litter. Plus
litter is unsanitary and can cause people to become dangerously ill. Birds get stuck
in litter and can’t fly away from danger, so, if you are a bird lover, pick up
litter. See? So many more things are happening than you might think! Would you
call me crazy if I said that’s not all?
Despite all these problems you can help. You can teach kids
and adults not to litter. You can set up or attend to a community clean-up. You
can randomly pick up trash and litter on your block or around your neighbor-hood.
You could start an event to raise money for litter clean-up. These are some of
the many ways you can help stop litter. I think you should do at least one.
You can do things and I have been doing stuff too! I recycle
a bunch and some times compost. I pick up litter around my community and
neighbor-hood. I've warned people of litter so they don’t get hurt. I also plan on going on a long walk to pick up
litter. But even if I do things it would make more of a difference if you did
some thing too!
I think that this is a huge deal that every one is involved
in. This Problem is not only affecting the lives of today, but if we don’t do
something it can affect the lives of the future. So pick up litter and save the
children of the next generation.
