How you can help
There are many ways that you can help with litter in the environment, and many of these methods do not require much effort at all. Some things that you can do to help are:
- Throw away used bottles in trashcans
- Pick up trash that you see on the ground
- Only recycle recyclable things (click here for what is recyclable)
- Minimize your use of plastics
- Reuse shopping bags
- Spread the word about cleaning litter
The U.S. uses 11.5 billion dollars each year for litter clean up. If you take time to help clean up, it will allow the the money used in this effort to go into other problems that we have in the world currently. Working for this could even start putting more money in peoples' wallets, allowing for investments in cleaner sources of energy and ways of disposing of trash. Humans are not the only species on earth, we weren't the first species on the earth , but we will be the last if we keep killing the earth the way we are.
