Article: Littering Is Harmful For Our
Environment
Litter is
trash that is left in public places. It is also a colossal waste of the Earth’s
limited resources, which will eventually run out. Nobody should litter on Earth
because littering can pollute the environment and also littering is hazardous.
It also endangers animals and birds. Littering can cause mental distress.
In fact,
according to Green Eco Services, 75% of Americans admit to littering within
past 5 years. Do you Know? Animals consume the litter as their food which
results in Health issues for them. Litter on the ground degrades soil quality
and impacts plant and animal growth. The most common littered objects are fast
food, paper, glass pieces, plastic thus litter has bad odour. It is dangerous
and unhealthy for our environment. Litter is ground zero for communicable
diseases for which insects and rodents act as carriers. Litter has a negative impact
on tourism and economy. The world spends US$11.5 billion a year to clean up
litter. Plastic bottles takes 450 years to decompose completely. By 2050 there
will be more plastic than fish in our oceans.
Littering
reduces the quality of life on Mother Earth. Now, it’s in our hands to protect Mother
Earth from litter.
