We should not turn a blind eye to littering
|
Our city is dying, under the weight of thousands of plastic bottles, fast food wrappers, and plastic bags that have been thrown carelessly around the streets. We often discuss large-scale industrial dumping, but we easily overlook another major problem, our daily habit of littering. We often turn a blind eye or refuse to acknowledge how often we neglect our communities and dump garbage wherever. I often see people casually littering on sidewalks, tossing trash out windows, even opening full doors just to throw a trash bag out! Although it may seem small, these acts of littering add up, and they all negatively affect our environment.
