Litter
By Nikolay Brucherseifer
I look at the ground and I see paper boxes , cans , books , motor oil, and a old tv. What a mess! Litter is a problem!
Types of Litter
Litter is trash that is not disposed of correctly and there are a few types of litter . Marine litter is trash that is thrown into the ocean. There is also ground litter which is trash that is thrown on the ground.
The Problem of Litter
Litter can be dangerous. Animals can choke on plastic bags and plastic wraps . Cigarette butts have chemicals that can get you sick. Litter can bring rats and their germs.
What can we do to fix it?
We have to clean up to help the environment . We can help by recycling and reusing and getting rid of trash. If you see someone litter tell adult. We can also help by going to a clean up .
We need to do our best to fix the litter problem.
