The Act to Abolish Littering

Have you ever been walking along the street, when the person in front of you drops a Taco Bell wrapper a few meters away from a garbage can on the corner? If so have you said anything? Streets all over America are covered with garbage and other discards.
Smokers in a car are just throwing cigarette buds out of their cars. Cigarettes smell horrible in people’s mouths, they don’t smell any better when they are our sidewalks. Many smokers aren’t quite aware about how critical smoking is to our streets, our world, and more importantly, our health. Not only are they bad for our environment, the people who smoke them also send toxins into the atmosphere, and thus killing nature.
Cigarettes end up in storm drains and end up and contaminate our drinking water. Cigarettes also attract vermin, and who wants them around? When you drop your discards on the beach, they get swept into the tide and kill plenty of marine life, especially species of fish. Seven billion tons of different varieties of litter enter the world’s oceans every year.
Litter causes various cancers, birth defects, learning disabilities, mutation, and immune system problems. Littering may seem not important to the people who do it at the time.....
