                                                        Horrific plastic 

   Did you know the us generates more and uses the most plastic more than any other country? The United States is by far the the largest generator for wastes period. Less than 10 percent of American plastic is recycled. The rest is either thrown out, littered in our grounds and beautiful such as beaches, oceans , parks and regular streets. The problem is we figure point and never take control of our own actions. I promise you if you go outside today you can see or find a piece of trash somewhere. That’s our problem. No one wants to be hold accountable and take responsibility.

   

    The photo you see here is a processed dump of garbage plastic bags from Walmart. They were just dumped in . The US has contributed to 2.24 million metric tons in 2016. The rate goes higher and higher every day. 

This is enough to cover the entire White House land.

   In my opinion I feel like our own mistakes will affect the way we will. If we don’t have consequences for us destroying our earth , change might never happen. I feel like it should be a law to not liter. I also feel like we should enforce recycling bins for every house. And a recycling garbage truck. The little stuff matters.
