Introduction:
My goal for this not to tell you what to do or tell you how to live your life.

From my source scienceleadership.org, the US alone pays up to 11.5 billion dollar per year cleaning up trash we leave behind.
Littering also attracts rodents, which carry different disease which can get passed along to humans.

Now that you know a little bit about the effects littering has on our environment, let's talk about what we can do to help improve our situation.
According to my audience analysis 83% of the people in this class would volunteer to pick up litter of community service.
Which is good because volunteering to take care of our environment is just one way we can take action and help.
Another way to help is signing up which a program to help fight against littering
An example would be Newnan’s Cigarette Litter Prevention Program.
