In most places as people look around they would see lots of litter. The litter that people see is not just there it affects them. Littering looks dirty and costs money to clean up. People litter and make places look dirty which costs people in a couple of ways. Littering is making a place untidy with trash such as paper, cans, bottles, and any other items that are left in public (Google). Littering is a major world problem because of people being irresponsible, where it comes from, disintegration, pollution affects, health effects, economy affects, how it affects people, and statistics.
People litter because they’re lazy and they throw it out of their car on the freeway (R. W. Beck). Litter also happens because people don not care about littering. The main causes are that litter is already there or they assume someone else will pick it up for them (Litter… It Just Isn’t Natural).
Litter does not just come from people throwing it in a place it does not belong. Litter comes from improperly handled garbage and commercial refuse. Construction sites, demolition sites, loading areas and delivering areas often leave materials that become litter. Uncovered trucks, motorists, and garbage collectors do not often clean up everything that they use and it get left behind (Litter… It Just Isn’t Natural). People do not think enough about litter and the cause and effects of litter. That is probably the biggest problem that leads to litter being left behind. Disintegration is another
“I hate it when you go to the beach or park and the day is suddenly destroyed by the arrival of The Picnic People from Hell...And when it’s time to leave, these people simply... leave. They pick up nothing” (Barry 325). Comedians love to choses messes a a topic in this case littering. The short story written by Dave Barry is a high level comedic that uses funny comparisons and hyperbole to expose the truth about littering and how it bothers him and his optometrist.
When littering occurs and that one person who can’t stand it watches, you might have some problems. The short essay “A Couple of Really Neat Guys” by Dave Barry really explains this well. It shares a universal truth about one person’s big pet peeve, littering. As he makes it clear how much he thinks littering is disrespectful, he also demonstrates sarcasm and satire.

Have you ever thought about what your community would look like without litter? If so, it may take a while to find out. One person throwing something on the ground may not think much of it, however, when that trash finds other trash, they begin to build up and make big piles of junk. For example, I am sure people never thought that if they littered, their trash would end up in the pacific garbage patch. Believe it or not, no one thinks that until you look at the pacific garbage patch and see how disgusting it looks just because people were to lazy to throw their trash away. To make matters worse, littering has become very common, which should be stopped because in most cases, trash is not disposed of properly,
A family decides to visit the oceanfront for summer vacation. One day, they go out for seafood. Little did the family know that previously that year, there had been a huge public event where people had left their trash on the beach. That trash had slowly leaked into and polluted the ocean, contaminating wildlife, such as the fish they had just eaten. LitterBonnie, a RedBot® infused with AdaFruit® technology, provides a significant service that would have prevented this complication. It improves the quality of life for future generations and has political, economic, and social aspects implicated for mankind. Finally, LitterBonnie will help prevent further litter pollution.
According to the Humane Society, littering is an indirect killer. Animals get curious and want to explore unknown items that they come across. Many will smell it and probably try to chew on it. Some animals end up getting trapped it it. The most common piece of trash that people litter is gum. Some birds mistake it for food and end up with their beak stuck together or the gum stuck in their throat making them unable to eat. These birds starve and die all at the hand of someone just spitting their gum out on the side
Many people today don’t even see littering as a crime. Everywhere you go whether its streets, towns, or beaches there always seems to be an abundant amount of trash in the area. The fact that we Americans keep continuing to litter is horrible, it’s as if we think littering is a joke. A particular situation with littering happened to me as a student while in high school. We had taken a campus field trip to the beach every student was allowed to bring food, drinks, and even their own ice chest. As it was time to leave our supervisors notice all of the trash we students left. We thought it was no harm and continued to walk to our bus, but our supervisors didn’t like that. So they decided to make all of the students to pick up the trash we left and then they gave us a lecture about littering. As you see the adolescents are starting to care less about minor laws, my experience shows that this reality is becoming
People are constantly throwing trash outside their window when they are driving down the street or throwing trash on the ground when they are walking. As minor as littering is, there are long term effects. Trash that ends up in the storm drains, eventually make it’s way into the ocean. Once the trash is in the ocean, it can eventually make its way into a whales blowhole, or can be consumed by an animal; which could harm them. Also, trash that makes it’s way into lakes and oceans is very difficult to remove. If you cannot remove the trash, how are you going to prevent these animals from getting
When you are driving down the roads of Miami County, all you see is litter. My vision for the future of Miami County is to have little to no litter on the ground because it looks better, is better for the economy, and is better for the animals. Less litter is better looking to the eyes and is less trashy looking. That makes it look very trashy and makes it look like we all don’t care about the Earth and what shape it’s in. Less litter is also better for the economy, for the ground, and also for the water. Litter is very bad for the earth. Litter in the water can kill organisms. Litter on the ground pollutes the soil, which can pollute the plants that grow in the soil or can stop the plants from growing. If animals or humans eat the plants that

It may seem harmless and innocent, but littering is an unhealthy habit people of all ages in each country do every day. Littering is a second nature to some people; after doing it for so long and often, they do not realize they do it. As more and more people continue to litter, environments, animals, and humans are being harmed by people’s carless actions. Americans, as well as all humans, need to be more aware of how hazardous and costly littering is to the world and the creatures living in it. Littering shows lack of respect for the world, and needs to be prevented in order for future generations to live in a clean and healthy environment.
Littering is one of the biggest environmental issues we face today. Littering affects us all, from humans to animals and our surroundings. The careless act of littering from a simple piece of plastic thrown on the ground can clog storm drains or that piece of plastic may go straight to the ocean and harm wildlife. Littering is a health hazard which causes harmful bacteria and germs. Removing litter from the environment costs everyone money. Littering is the most important environmental issue our nation is facing because it is done so easily and carelessly. People do not realize how much we spend on cleaning litter every year or how it affects us all. The practice has become second nature, we have avoided to educate ourselves on how this affects us in the long run. Littering needs to be minimized or if possible, completely stopped if we could help it because we are doing more harm to the earth.
There are some reasons for the problem. The first reason is that the effects of the thrown rubbish are very dangerous and extremely harmful. According to Miller (1987), global industrial organizations produce over 80,000 different chemicals (para. 5). Basically, garbage is old, dirty and wet, so that it is a perfect place for bacteria and other viruses to stay in. Rubbish growth in cities has been a problem all over the world for centuries. Landfills have always been regarded as sources of illnesses and unpleasant smells. The harmful wastes from the garbage spread through the ground from paint, chemicals, petrol, batteries, and other toxic materials that have been thrown away into the garbage. The toxic chemicals get into the water pipes and spread through the people’s drinking water. Another reason of that problem is that people have created all these disasters, which are connected with environmental pollution. The more modern technologies are created, the more unbelievable become wastes and remains of what is produced. From this, man is responsible for what he or she created and for the following consequences. Anxieties about the environment have made people more aware of their environmental footprints or the kind of waste they leave behind during their existence. The difficulty is that an average person leaves an incredible amount of wastes in his or her lifetime. According to Lovejoy (1912), all biodegradable substances, contained in
Another cause of marine pollution is the discarding of garbage into oceans, rivers and dams. The situation is a major problem causing harm to marine life and ecosystems all over the world. Old
