Litter is usually paper scraps, empty cans and discarded food wrappers. If a factory owner illegally dumps a truckload of toxic waste by the side of a country road that is not classed as litter. That is industrial pollution.

Litter on land is really mostly visual pollution. It looks bad. It makes the place look untidy. But it doesn't kill us.

An exception to this is plastic litter that gets into waterways and oceans. Plastic bags, floating in the sea, look like jellyfish and often get swallowed by turtles and other marine life, eventually causing death. Plastic nets and other debris discarded or lost off fishing boats can entangle sea creatures causing them to drown.

A:Anything that you put into the environment that doesn't belong there is pollution. A:The first thing that littering does is to make things ugly. No matter how beautiful something is,litter will change it ugly. Litter is also hazardous to animals. They may eat it or become tangled in it and could die. Litter can pollute our water systems and that could be poisonous to us and to wildlife. Good rule of thumb; If you don't throw it on the floor of your mother's living room, don't throw it on the ground. People who litter are lazy and don't care about others.. Sorry but that's the truth. Wait till you find an approved dump site or trash receptacle.


Do you like walking around and seeing trash on the ground?!? I hope the answer is no. Because if it is I really can't see why you're not in jail. But if the answer is no then why don't you do something about it? Because it is WRONG!!! So be considerate and spare a few seconds of your time to pick it up and throw it in the trashcan where it belongs. Because if we don't no one will and our planet will become a waste just like a lot of things in the world. And I really don't want to see that happen but what can a handful of people do against so many?
