Mt.Everest is the tallest mountain on earth. It is 29,000 feet tall and 5 and ½ miles long. Mt.Everest was formed 60 million years ago. There are 10,000 people who tried to attempt to climb Mt.Everest and left behind garbage. There is so much garbage about 10 tons still littering the slopes. There are lots of different kinds of garbage on the mountain. Corpses of climbers who never made it down lie hidden in the snow.

My topic is littering. How does it make the world a worse place. And one of them is littering. I am going to tell you why is littering is bad and how it makes earth worse than what it was. Littering is bad because it makes an area look ugly, it is expensive, and sometimes hard to clean, and harmful to people, plants, and animals, it is also bad because it is illegal, people who litter can be fined or charged, littering also causes plotted water, and it can clog storm drains. And…

There is an amount of a plastic waste that is the size of this rooms that is being thrown in the ocean every minute of every hour of every day. I chose this topic because of the scale of this problem and the speed this problem is growing with. It is a global problem that affects the ocean plants & creatures that live there. So I’ve made a research to tell you about this issue. (Weule) Besides the significant damage it cause to the environment and fauna it affects us directly as well. Today…

Not included in this estimate are the indirect costs of littering, including decrease in property values, commerce and tourism as well as the health effects of this form of waste.” (Earth 911) With more litter there is more money lost, from people who are already struggling to pay bills and taxes as it is so why should this be added to the increasing amount of bills we already pay?

It is redundant to say that Montana can provide a small(er) scale representation of the United States, each state represents the whole in some way or another, however, it is fair to say that the remoteness of Bitterroot serves almost like a control group for the rest of the country. As Diamond puts it, “Bitterroot valley presents a microcosm of the environmental problems plaguing the rest of the United States: Increasing population… increasing scarcity and decreasing quality of water… poor air…

El Camino College acquires large amounts of money from students, however, our drinking fountains are dirty, when they work. Private companies on our campus force students to purchase their $1.50 bottle of Dasani since students wish to have clean drinking water. Where is all the money from bottled water purchases and how does a public institution require students to pay money for access to clean drinking water? It costs less than one cent per gallon of water from the Los Angeles Department of…

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…

Do you like to breathe? Obviously otherwise, you would die. Do you know we, human beings, are eliminating that main factors in our lives? We are doing this on our own because of we are lazy enough to grab a plastic pot and throw it into a recycling bin or not even have one. We prefer to throw garbage into the closest trash can or not even throw it into a bin but in the streets. Do you think recycling is important? I do, if you do we are okay, but if you don't I will explain why. Have you…

Therefore, we must make a difference by changing our wasteful habits before it is too late. Each individual is responsible for throwing away waste, such as cans, plastic bottles, electronics, and paper bags among others; therefore, we must make changes in our daily lives before the waste turns our environment into a disaster. In “Waste Not, Want Not”, Bill McKibben argues that…
