Throwing trash on the ground is not only disrespectful, but it also harms the environment and wildlife. When we litter, we are contributing to pollution that can harm our air, water, and soil. It can also harm animals that mistake litter for food, or become entangled in it. It’s important to remember that our actions have consequences, and that we all share the responsibility to protect our planet. So next time you have a piece of trash in your hand, take a few extra steps to find a trash can or recycling bin.
