The issue of trash is very important to talk, because trash can interfere with sense of peace and comfort. Trash is a source of disaster that can result in fatal damage like flood.
There are many factors which caused flooding, one of which was caused by stupid behavior of human being.
Onetime, I have seen the janitor of city garbage trucks dump garbage into the stream and did that stupid thing almost every working day. They do not realized that one day the river will overflow because it was filled with plastic trash they discard.
I think there are nothing we can do to address the problem of flooding in addition to taking out the trash at the site.
Do you still litter your garbage there in place and did you feel annoyed if your neighbor do not throw thrash in places that are already available?

Hi..
In our place some people will come daily and collect all the garbage in each and every house.. We all encourage this system.. I don't know how they will distract all these garbage but i hope they will not misuse. Mixing this garbage in water is really very bad thing that we all must avoid..

Fish will consume small parts of plastic and iron that goes to ocean.
We can imagine that any waste that is not handled well and spread up the river, ocean. I read that earth takes 1000 years to decompose plastic stuff and need also five hundreds year to decompose trash made from iron and earth can not decompose trash made from bottles. So, if someone come to ask for your used bottles, you'd better give them away instead of keeping them or throwing on your waste bin.

I always put the garbage in the place where they should belong.I always put even just a small candy wrapper to the trash can as it feels embarrassing when other people sees me throw it just anywhere.I also want the place to be always clean so I do not litter.

I never litter. I am a firm believer in recycling just about everything. And I get very upset when I see other litter or not recycle but depending on the situation I will say something.

There is garbage collector in our community which has scheduled for collection of biodegradable and non-biodegradable. And we'll paid for their services but the problem is sometimes people did not follow the schedule so other would mix the non- biodegradable. And aside from that i don't know were they throw our garbage but one thing for sure they sell it to any junk shop. But i don't litter because i know that doing this we would suffer a lot. I know some our places in my country who suffered flood and we are fortunate that our place was not experience this.

In my opinion, people are just the same everywhere, people are lazy and stubborn. In the era where I'm living now, they were given trash bin, but they didn't use it with appropriate function. That's human You know, we like to create our new case among cases. Thanks to join mylot. Bye
