Essay
Each day people around the world throw trash onto the ground. You might be wondering, “yeah so? Why should I care about what other people do? Can’t others care?” The truth is, the trash is ruining our environment and one day will be the reason that the Earth no longer exists. We only have one Earth and we need to be the people to take care of it forever. People need to stop littering at once!
One reason why people should not be littering is because plastic can harm the animals that live on earth. For example, plastic parts thrown into the oceans can get stuck in animals’ throats or noses. Sea turtles experience this often. They see things floating in the ocean such as plastic straws and try to eat them. These plastic straws get stuck in their throat or parts of their noses and harm them. I know what you’re probably thinking, “well I have never litered before, so this isn’t my problem,” but trust me you have probably had something blow away that you didn’t run after, or have missed the trash can and never picked it back up. If you’ve done this, then you have littered and are adding to the problem. One possible solution to stop plastic or garbage getting into our oceans is by cleaning up after yourself and making sure that you put everything in the garbage bins.
Another reason why people should not be littering is because litter pollutes the air and things in the ground. For example, when we pour chemicals on the group it can evaporate and condense in the clouds before it rains down on people. Sometimes these chemicals can create acid rain. This rain is not good for us. Do not put any dangerous chemicals on the ground. It can also pollute the food we eat such as vegetables and fruits.
Lastly, people should not be littering because it makes towns not clean and less safe for kids. You might be wondering, “why would it be unsafe for kids?” Well imagine your child playing outside that has garbage all over the place and while they are playing they pick up something sharp and dangerous and it cuts them, or they eat dirty food on the ground, they would get hurt or very sick. You would not want your child playing with trash.
This is why I think people should NOT liter ANYWHERE!
Reflection
I picked my topic People should not be littering because if we keep on littering something bad can happen so I really wanted to get out a message in the world that people should not litter. What I enjoyed about this is when we got to record it because we got to speak about it and how we imagined people would read it I also licked the pictures because we can decide what one fits out the best when people are reading it. What was difficult was writing because we needed to restart and make sure it was the best we ever did.
