Littering

Improved Essays
How does someone invoke a change in an environment is a question that some people may ask themselves. Change can be negative or positive. There are many ways to invoke a positive change in an environment and many different ideas to invoke. To Invoke a change though, someone would have to start in their area and gradually let the change expand to other parts of their society. One idea to persuade others to do would be to properly throw away their trash instead of littering. Littering has a negative effect on many ecosystems and would help our environments become cleaner and healthier if we lowered the amount of litter in the environments.

Change is Constant.” In order to make a positive change though, someone would have to start in a small area and then move to a larger area. There are many ways I could persuade someone to help me make a change with how we dispose of litter. Some ways I could do this would be to put up posters or signs stating the facts of how litter affects our environment in a negative way or start even smaller and go around my neighborhood and hand out flyers with information about why you should properly dispose trash instead of littering. Another way I could make a change on a larger scale and inspire people to join my cause is to create a website and inform people about many negative effects litter has on our environment and ways they can clean it up and spread the word in their neighborhood and then post this website on many different social media websites and apps to help advertise the change and the positive effects cleaning up your litter will do to your environment. This change could eventually happen if I were to continue it and try to convince many people to support this cause. Someone invoking a small positive change could make that change potentially grow into something bigger and better and gradually increase the way society perceives that change and that would better convince other people to join the cause. Mother Teresa once said,” I alone cannot change the

    Even with all these views on how we should change the environment nothing ever happens. Things don’t change with a person these views can be said to everyone but action need to be done because “old habits die hard” and everyone has the habit of I don’t care. The tensions that would arise for pushing something like this on someone is that they don’t want to change the way they are because they don’t see the big picture. The just see the little ones around them that mean nothing to them because it is not there’s. The similarities that they have are that they both want the change to happen and they want the world to be a better place for them and their family to live on.…

    In No Impact Man, Colin Beavan discusses many important topics, one of which is about trash. This topic got my interest because we see it everywhere, Colin goes into detail and discusses a lot of facts about it. An interesting observation was made regarding the black color of trash bags, that the reason trash bags are black instead of transparent is because people do not or cannot deal with seeing what is inside of them. Another related topic that always gets my concerns is recycling our waste. There are a lot of people that don’t recycle and just don’t care.…

    It has come to my concern and attention that recycling should be mandatory in ISA. Americans make more than 200 million tons of garbage each year due to the garbage outburst that is not recycled. I personally believe that recycling should be mandatory in ISA because the EPA system averages out that 75% of the American waste stream of garbage is only 30% recycled which isn’t even half of it. Therefore ISA should go green and have recycle bins which then the recycled items will be processed to a recycling company. One of the reasons recycling should be mandatory is because it will protect wildlife from decreasing the risk of killing an animal from lake to sea, or from forest to rivers.…
