How we hurt the environment! Today plastic!
Posted by: Guest blogger in Canada, Consumer Habits, Environmental Issues, Land Use, Waste
Many people think, “Oh, it’s just an empty water bottle, what is it gonna do to the earth. I know NOTHING!!” Actually, they’re wrong, there are A LOT of things that just one empty water bottle can do to the environment. For instance, it takes years to decompose and can maybe end up around a ducks neck if it’s a pop can holder {you know the round circles that you’re supposed to cut before you throw them away!} Turns out, to people who might NOT have known this, it of course is going to hurt the environment! So next time you are just thinking, » How’s it going to hurt the environment? Oh, wait, it WON’T!!” Well maybe now you’ll actually think before you act!

Waste is very bad for the environment. It is very sad when you see animals dying because some people have polluted the environment that they live in. That is all I have to say please don’t pollute where animals live they don’t harm you don’t harm them.
