Litter

When you litter the world is bitter! You all know what litter is, am I right, but most of us don’t know why others litter. Maybe they don’t care about their city and their mom still picks up after them or they just might be plain stupid. I'm just kidding, but they are possible reasons, but not the reasons I am going to inform you about. Well, some people litter because they don’t know the consequences of their actions, here is why it's not. Have you ever seen a sign on the road saying

Catlin Frey Professor Joelle Adams English 21A (section #:1256) 9 February 2017 Don't litter, it makes the world bitter! Have you ever noticed as you're walking the amount of cigarette butts that litter the ground? On the sidewalk, in the dirt, in the bushes, in a parking lot, on the beach, near a river, or even surrounding a trash can. Probably not, if you weren't really paying attention or because you honestly didn't care, but you should. Although cigarette butts may seem harmless, they're just

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. Sarcasm was used different times throughout the essay. For instance it says, “And thus Jeff and I became Captain Tidy and Neatness

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

I. Introduction Many people litter because they overlook the consequences it has on the environment due to not properly knowing about the effects. They know that littering is “bad”, but don’t know how or why it’s bad. Litter threatens public health because it is a breeding ground for bacteria, causes car accidents, starts fires, and harms and kills plants and animals. According to the CDC foundation, “Public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of families and communities

an endangerment for wildlife in urban areas due to habitat destruction. The ruining on wildlife’s habitat means that they easily can get killed by some of the many dangerous items of litter that is pretty much everywhere. With that much amount of littering going to trash, you can literally understand how much litter there really is, and how much dangerous items there honestly could be out there to potentially harm animals. With all that money to pick up billions of dollars’ worth of trash you can

The amount of laziness a human exhibits seems to have a positive correlation with the amount of pollution that the human gives off. The start of human laziness dates back all the to the start of the human race. Research has shown that humans are biologically born with laziness, but the amount of laziness differs between humans (Hreha). The greatest danger to the environment is human laziness. Being lazy is a great thing because so much time is saved. Time may be saved, but in exchange, the environment

Litter is a very important environmental issue. There are several litter statistics. For example, 1. 9 billion tons of litter ends up in the ocean every year. 2. $11.5 billion is spent every year for litter clean up. 3. 50% of litter are cigarette butts. 75% of people admitted they have littered in the past 5 years. The object that is most found during the clean up of litter is fast food garbage. Based off of surveys, men are likely to litter more than women. Lastly, most people who would deliberately

which makes us more likely to take part in the action unless we consciously tell ourselves not to. We’re so hardwired this way that if you find yourself in a community with obvious signs of litter that you are up to 50% more likely to drop any trash you may have been carrying while there (Abrahams). So when we litter, we are not just responsible for whatever we put on the ground because it will likely influence at least one more person to do the same thing. Since we’ve already talked about why it

from dangerous waste items such as glass whilst also preserving the environment. The burden of litter on Australian society equates to $300-$350 million annually. Litter is also a fire hazard and contributes to the injury and death of marine species, yet people are less likely to litter if bins are available (State of NSW and EPA, 2013). Littering is an international issue. $1.9 billion tons of litter reaches the ocean each
