Littering on our Environment and Future
Littering is a serious issue that is not only happening in America, but around the world as well. Many people just throw their trash on the ground instead of throwing it away, or recycling it. Over time this may result in a problem that can't be solved; unless everyone starts helping now. Littering has a huge negative effect on our environment, and I have went around my local community to find litter, and provide helpful tips on how to stop it.
Littering has a negative effect on our world because over time all this unnecessary trash will build up so
much, that we won't be able to do anything about it. There will be so much waste that there wouldn't be any place to put it. Our environment would look like garbage, and the wonderful world we have today will be shredded from it's roots. According to the Keep America Beautiful Inc., over 51 billion pieces of litter is on America's roads every year. If our country keeps going on at this pace, then we won't have a country to live in anymore.
I went around my local community to find evidence of littering, and I was astonished by the amount I found. Although, the number of trash items I found outside the store of Chipotla was what suprised me the most. I found crushed cans of soda, balled up foil, plastic bottles, and etc. I also looked around the outside of the fast food restaurant and there was no trash can ouside. So people just got too lazy to go inside and throw their trash away; they just left it on the ground.
