Littering In Georgia

Decent Essays
n Georgia there is a serious problem of littering. Obviously people do not care for their country. They are throwing their trash everywhere. Even after the government introduced a new law of "No littering" people are not paying attention, they are violating the law. Nobody is going to clean it up until someone makes them. But how and why ?

There are many reasons why Georgians shouldn't throw their garbage everywhere. One reason is that the environment gets ruined. Another is that it hurt tourism. For instance, in my village, next to a swamp, there is a very nice view of nature, the trees, but there's garbage everywhere. That's because people come, have a picnic there, and they just throw their rubbish there. Now people don’t want to come because of the garbage.

Different kinds of plastic can decompose at different rates, but according to (reference) the average time for a plastic bottle to completely degrade is at least 450 years. It can even take some bottles 1000 years to degrade!

There are issues about animal health. There are cows walking everywhere, and people own them, they should take better care of them and so on.
If cows and other livestock eat some bad things, it could cause some very serious problems. My dog, "Mura", is very big and healthy.It is six months old, and quite silly. If he eats some pig meat, then he might die. A human losing his or her pets can be an emotional experience, lost of a close friend. So this is another issue to be considered.

People living in such a place, near a growing dump become negative in their feelings towards others. Not getting along with people is never good. When little kids see others throwing their waste everywhere, they start doing the same. That's so bad! Some people think: "Oh, look there's so much trash, what should I do with this empty bottle in my

    For instance, when I visited Reading Terminal on Wednesday November 23, I witnessed people individuals disrespecting the public space. A group of High School students, about 15 or so, staked claim over a large section of tables. They were no longer eating anything, and saw individuals with food desperately attempting to find a seat within the very limited space designed for eating. When they did leave, they left their trash and spilled drinks all over their tables, making it inhospitable for others. However, myself and other patrons took it upon ourselves to clean up their mess.…

    There are many laws out there that many people do not know about, therefore, are unintentionally breaking the law. While this may not seem like a huge deal, the amount of people breaking these laws is huge. People litter when they have trash, or jaywalk when the timing is convenient. Frank Trippett, in his article, “A Red Light for Scofflaws”, explains that millions of people break smaller laws everyday. Trippett is right, because the amount of people breaking the law is insane, and these laws were made for a reason.…

    The constant growth of major cities leads to inevitable merging between public locations and these sites where waste is disposed of, as it doesn 't have any strict means of control (Sharholy, Ahmad, Mahmood & Trivedi, 2008). This relates directly to the problem that was shown on earth throughout the movie. Garbage was scattered throughout public areas, with no means of control. In reality, such as in India, this leads to public health safety issues. As the waste decomposes, this can attract insects and vectors of disease, as well as harm the built environment (Sharholy et al., 2008).…

    An essential ingredient to improving animal welfare and human health is to farm slower and smaller. The World Animal Protection and the Farm Animal Initiative have developed a project called the Model Farm Project in effort to promote humane farming internationally. The WAP link, “Farm Animal Welfare,” argues that humane farming is both profitable and sustainable. The WAP asserts that keeping farms moderately sized creates jobs, reduces pollution and environmental damage (and expensive clean up efforts), and raises profits because healthy animals are less costly to maintain. In terms of animal welfare, the key is allowing animals to behave and eat as normally as possible.…

    As you know your company produces a lot of bottles, and all of the bottles are made out of a plastic called PET which is a petroleum based plastic, and can't be broken down easily. My suggestion is that in your production of bottles use a paper bottle instead of a plastic one. I already know that you are using 30% recyclable materials in your bottles, and even though it helps the environment a little bit there is still 70% of the bottle which is PET based. Using a paper bottle for drinks means even if a person throws it away in the normal trash it still will be able to be broken down in a landfill because paper is fully recyclable, and biodegradable. Statistics show that 91% of plastic bottle that are made, and thrown away are going into landfills, and with the paper bottle that number will go down because the bottles can break down a lot easier and faster than normal plastic bottles.…

    In the world today, people cannot do without animals because they have become an essential part of human existence to both vegetarians and meat eaters. Some animals serve as pet, and some serve as food, and others are used for sports and laboratory experiments. Although some animal activist advocates for animal rights, there are limits to that right because animals cannot be equal with human. They don’t have the intellectual ability that humans have to take responsibilities and control what happens around them. These animals are important in the society and the need to treat them with respect is paramount.…
