History

Throughout human history, people disposed an unwanted material without fear. Of littering, into streets, roadsides, in small local dumps or often in remote locations. The most amount of litter are in the cities. In the mid-to-late 19th century, sanitation was not a government priority. The growing piles of waste led to the spreading of diseases.

To address the growing amount of waste generated in the United States, the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 was enacted. In 1976 the Federal government amended the Solid Waste Disposal Act, creating the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act RCRA.

Who? People all around the world litter What? People litter like if is no problem but there is a problem because the world could be full of trash. Where? Litter not only comes from Americans but almost everyone around the world litter. Why? People litter because they do not realize what they are doing to are environment. When? People litter every day and every minute the total a year is 1,600 pounds of garbage a year. Did you know that in Mexico households, they have 30% more waste than America? Therefore, we are not the only country that is having these littering problems. About 35% of what makes up landfills is paper waste! So all that paper that has just a tiny dot n it and you how it out, that makes garbage and landfills become an even-bigger problem!
