Why Is Littering Wrong

Decent Essays
Littering is a very important law for many good reasons. One example of why littering is a terrible thing is because it doesn’t look good for your community. People who go and look for houses in your community might not want to move into your community because they do not want to be looked at by other people as living in a gross community. If visitors of the community visit that place once, they probably might not want to go back. Trash pick up also cost a lot of money too. Picking up trash is not a fun job to have.

    It may not be apparent to many when going about their day that they could potentially be breaking laws. Frank Trippett in his article claims that many people break laws everyday without even noticing it whether it be jaywalking, littering, or even just being too loud in a public domain. Some people would feel as if everybody should know the laws and know that, for example, jaywalking is illegal, many of us know this but for the young kids who have never been talked to or confronted by the police would not be aware to these laws which therefore would lead them to just be “crossing the street” cause they did not want to wait at the light. Many people break laws all the time, most are aware when they do, but others are not as educated about the law system or how it works or what laws even actually exist.…

    Dumpster divers can be the bane of a business owner's existence. While they are out there rifling through your dumpster under the cover of darkness (or often even in broad daylight,) they can leave behind a mess that you have to send one of your employees out to clean up. Not only is this frustrating, but it is ultimately costing your money when it comes to wasted time your staff could be using to do their actual job instead. Unless it is specifically prohibited by local regulations, dumpster diving is legal within the United States.…

About 5 years ago, an alteraine recreational vehicle club was developed by my home and with it came an increase in traffic thus, an increase in littering. During windy days, litter can be seen blowing along the roadways and into yards along the roadway. Everyone has heard the slogan “Keep America Beautiful”, but I never really thought about what that meant until now, when I see the changes in my own community. Litter makes the environment look far less pristine and poses risks to plants and animals in the area.…
