Littering Satire
Period 2

There’s nothing like walking through the park in the summertime, and seeing all the beautiful garbage scattered in the grass. It’s even better when you see the little bunnies chewing on that plastic wrapper someone left on the ground. Also, it’s just wonderful when you’re driving and you see someone throwing a cigarette butt out their window. Don’t you think so? Knowing that littering destroys wildlife is just one of the perks. When birds are carrying back plastic bags to make their nest, it’s such a pleasant sight. Sometimes, when the animals don’t get to the garbage us humans carelessly throw around, it washes into the storm drains that lead into the ocean. Seeing plastic six pack rings around fishes in the ocean just warms my heart, knowing that people are doing their best to help with the population control. There are too many animals in nature anyway. Another positive effect of littering is having a filthy water supply. When you see a factory dumping waste into a river or stream, it will eventually make its way into our tap water, how delicious! It’s like they’re putting a little bit of flavoring in it for whoever drinks it, it’s just so thoughtful. In addition, when waste is dumped, it usually kills the animals in the water, so you don’t have to worry about fishes swimming around in your drinking water. The big shot company owners are always thinking about the little people. Similarly, littering also has a positive effect on the soil. According to Bill Nye the Science Guy, “it’s good to litter so the trash can decompose and turn into good, rich soil.” The plants then suck in the good nutrients it gets from our garbage, and helps the plants grow. Then, the plants are harvested and put on our plates for dinner. Just another fascinating way human’s littering ends up in our daily lives. Overall, littering just helps to create an unsightly environment. However, if humans didn’t litter, the delinquents who have to do community service
