No one should litter

 Have you ever wondered how our surrounding would look like without litter. It may look very harmless but I believe that littering is a big and broad environmental issue we face today.

Firstly, littering can spread diseases. This can happen by touching, picking up or by accidentally injuring themselves by improperly disposed of trash. Germs can also be transmitted through an affected vector. Vectors are animals that come in contact with contaminated litter and transmit the germs to humans. Are you sure you are gonna let this happen? 

Secondly, littering causes pollution. As plastic breaks down, chemicals are released. These chemicals are not natural to the environment which can cause several problems. 60% of water pollution is attributed to litter. 40% of the worlds litter is burned in the open air, which can release toxic emissions. Are you sure you are gonna let this happen? 

Finally, I think no one should litter because littering spoils the environment. Lots of animals like turtles, seals and birds mistake waste for food. After animals digest the waste their intestines get blocked. If they eat too many their stomachs get full that they do not eat anything else. Are you sure you are gonna let this happen?

So now you know why I think no one should litter because littering is toxic, unhelpful and unhealthy effecting humans, animals and our surroundings.
