Humans: what a load of rubbish
Ominous clouds of rubble and litter are raining down on our streets. Only, the rubbish isn’t actually the result of a torrid spell of weather, it is in fact the result of us humans continuously neglecting our planet. The world is decaying in front of our very eyes and communities around the world are suffering already. We must act now!
This littering crisis is escalating into a human epidemic and is returning with catastrophic results such as destroying our planet’s natural serenity and dramatically reducing our wildlife.
A large sum of money is being wasted on cleaning your litter. This incredible amount of money could be used to invest in all sorts of other charities and support groups. For example 33,200 nurses or 26,900 paramedics could be recruited instead of the money that is currently spent cleaning our repugnant and sickening streets.
Previously serene oceans have become moving waste waters-which carry around sickness and disease. Marine life used to live in elegant, tranquil habitats; now they are being poisoned by your rubbish. Beaches across the coast have encountered serious difficulties with this littering headache; many litterers have caused havoc and adversity for residents living nearby. Just this month a whale was found beached with an enormous mass of plastic rubbish in its stomach. Instant action has to be taken, unless we want to watch our planet crumble.
The detrimental effects of single-use plastic and litter are widely known now. Is this a world you are prepared to accept? Is this the future you want? Stop using plastic! Avoid disposable products. Take care of your own world.
