Litter box

I’ve always loved doing community service in the nature of going to an animal shelter or helping with the HEB Feast of Sharing, but every time I heard the words, “pick up trash” it always made me cringe. I’m a very clean person and when I think about it, it just grosses me out. So, when I heard we were going to be cleaning up McKellar Lake, I wasn’t very enthused. But, actually going with people I enjoyed being around, and seeing that there was a ton to do, I was glad that I could be of service.…

What is considered litter? Before one can answer that, one must ask whether litter is an actual issue to the environment. According to Jean Scheid, from greenliving.lovetoknow.com, litter affects everything, from storm water drains to wildlife. Globally, litter kills life. In fact, according to Haley Wilhite from The Nature Conservancy, she states that plastics account for the deaths of more than one million seabirds, and 100,000 marine mammals every year. Some mammals rendered completely…

Trash is something we all have but some of us have more of it than others. Trash does not look pretty and can't just be sat on the ground until you can take it to the dumpster. In some cities this is even illegal because it looks bad and animals can get into it and spread it all over the place. If you have a lot of trash you may want to consider a dumpster rental service. That is right, you can rent a whole dumpster to have all to yourself. They make these dumpsters in all different sizes you…

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…

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. According to the Keep America Beautiful nonprofit group, men between the ages of 18 and 34 are most likely to litter and do it…

Littering is a big problem in the world, so big that 3.8 billion pounds of trash end up in the ocean every year. Littering is illegal, but the punishments don’t stop people from dropping that piece of trash instead of walking it over to the trash can. Littering happens everywhere, even in our national parks, polluting the air all over the world, and humans are the main factor. National parks are used for conservation and protecting land and animals, but they are slowly turning into landfills.…

Litter causes many damages all around communities because it affects the environment, the communities overall reputation, and it is very expensive to clean up.

the pebbles equally. Vesa chose boxes and placed one pebble at the time in each box until she run out of the pebbles, and then counted how many she had in each box: “There is three in each box.” The adult give her more pebbles and asked her to equally divide them between five boxes. She divided pebbles between boxes, counted how many she has in each box, wrote the correct number on a note paper and stick it on a box. When all boxes were counted and had the numbers on them, Vesa realised that all…

As I began to slowly open it, the sharp creakiness of the hinge grew louder. Just as I had fully opened the lid of the box, “whish!!” A rodent of some sort flew across the pile of wood in the box, and I slammed the lid shut and ran inside. I then took the remainder of mine and my father’s bags to the upstairs loft area while still trembling. The rest of the night was very peaceful for everyone. We ate some…

pocket knife to make me feel better. As I opened the first box I realized that it was full of clothes. Mark found books in his box, another box was full of trophies from soccer and basketball. All these boxes were full of someone’s personal things, we decided that it all belonged to the family that was living there before us and they probably just forgot to take this stuff. I opened up the last box and inside it was this other box. The box was small and it had blue lights coming from…
