Top Ten Litter Causes Sources of unwanted trash are the pedestrians who deliberately drop mess in the streets and gutters, motorists who throw garbage out of moving vehicles, truck haulers who litters public streets by unsecured loads, households which are non-secure trashcans invaded by scavengers or wind, commercial owners who fail to maintain dumpsters, human elements who litter at the parks or mall, entertainment events with large amounts of waste which are hard to control or collect, illegal litter whether by the public or the commercial community, habitual or intentional littering, construction sites with large amounts of ignored garbage. Our environmentalists say, trash thrown everywhere harm our storm water systems, oceans, rivers and streams along with our wildlife. SOLUTIONS: Recycle bottles, paper, can, boxes and plastics. Buy containers that are returnable such as glass. Buy items that use little or no packaging. Select packaging that is biodegradable if possible. Ask your school, business or church to start a litter pick-up group. Purchase items that come in or are made from recycled containers. Write to your local newspaper or school principal and talk about litter concerns. Place ample trash containers in conspicuous places. Report construction sites, businesses or homeowners who have litter problems. Hold free seminars at your community center to help the public understand how litter is harming our environment. Start a website in your area and advertise your website in the local paper or radio. Remember, "ang basurang itinapon mo ay babalik din sa iyo." Yes, it boomerangs. Once in a while, someone comes along to put you on top of the world.   |
