Littering

Today I learned that littering has a lot of damaging effects. One of the effects are that it costs a lot of money. It costs a lot of money because the government has to pay someone to clean up the litter. The government has to pay around 115 million dollars every year to clean up the litter. There is about 59% of paper that is littered every day. There is 6% for cans. Thirteen for random things. I don't remember the rest. n That is a lot of money that can be used for other things like charity. There are also fires started from littering and the damage has to be paid so that adds more money caused by littering. Another effect is that it is very harmful. Littering can kill animals because small animals can get stuck in jars and starve to death. Birds can get caught in plastic. We can stop littering now. It's a choice to litter. There's is nothing that says that you have to litter in this world. Humans can get ill from rats that are attracted to the litter. There are probably 1 million people littering every day and thousands littering every 1o minutes. In conclusion, there are a lot of bad things about littering and people can stop littering. Littering is illegal in most places but people still do it. Littering should be more enforced.
