Talkin’ Trash

    Have you ever wondered why littering is horrible in the world? I believe that recycling is important and healthy for our nation. So recycle, and help the world stay clean.
    First, you could end up hurting nature. If you were in Florida on the beach, and you ate a cheeseburger, and there was tinfoil on it, but took it off and threw it in the ocean or near the ocean, that could end up hurting nature.
    Now people make so many cool things out of stuff you recycle. Like shoes, and come on, who doesn’t like shoes. So when you get new shoes you can remember that it could have been something you recycled, or somebody else recycled.
    Third reason is that you could get in trouble. As soon as you drive onto your road you might see a sign that says “$100 or $200 fine for littering.” An example, I was on my road, and I saw a sign for littering. It said “$200 fine for littering” on it.
    When you see any trash, please recycle. It will help nature and you can get great stuff out of it.         Also, I really don’t think you want a $100 or $200 fine.
    So recycle; help our world stay clean.
