why cleaning up others and YOUR trash, food, ect, helps the earth.

Hello! um, quick introduction! I am Michela, and I will be turning 14 soon! I feel like so many people always never clean beaches, roads, and more, mainly because it has "Corona virus" on it, people hardly ever do this these days, so I searched the internet finding a way to inform people about it, and i found this website, called vocal! please enjoy whatever this is.

every day, you ALWAYS see that one tiny piece of paper or gum on the ground, you don't hesitate to kick it, and move on with your day. but then people like you say the exact same phrase at the LEAST 2-3 times a day, and that phrase is, "someone else will pick it up". So, Nobody EVER picks it up, now, In this case we are not worried about the grass or trees, considering the fact it wont hurt them, but..PROBLEM. What if a stray dog, bird, snapping turtle, land turtle, or a mouse eats it? And that thing died because you did not take 10 seconds out of your day, and toss it in the garbage bin. and the thing that bugs me the most, is the fact someone has the guts to toss it under there desk, or even stick a piece of gum on a tree, like...seriously? and YES, I have seen a 5 year old do both of those. so if you see some gum on the ground, or a plastic bottle on a road, please, PLEASE, pick it up, and throw it away, like, the trash can is two feet away.

how to prevent others from doing it? well, you cant...you can tell them not to, but most of the human race wont listen to a thing you tell them, then there are people like you, me, and the guy named bob that lives in your basement/attic that want to help the earth, but however if we don't get everyone to understand this, people will start to go against this idea or ignore it, and see that image? well, that is what land waste looks like, folks. and there could possible-y be a 90 percent chance, some of YOUR trash is in there. there is many

possibilities that could help, and I feel this needed to be said, so PLEASE, and I will say this again, PLEASE PICK UP YOUR TRASH. and I also want to point out that a lot of people have also bought weed killer, so it kills weeds on the lawn, now I complete agree on killing weeds, they are a terrible substitute to killing your grass, but you need to watch out on what weed killer you use, it could harm your grass, due to other substances and powders that could kill grass instead of weeds. not only that, but also, a lot of people think that it is okay to pick flowers, it really is not. if you pick a flower, is damages the roots of the plant. we need our world to change. please try to pick up your garbage, and please spread the word, and be caring to plants and animals! and please don't spread hate, I'm a newbie and I really like this topic, so feel free to read on my account anytime, and my account is pretty much plants, the environment, anime, updates about my dog Lilly, and the LGBT+ Community! Have a great evening or morning, and stay safe! bye-bye! :)
