Then for my art project I will make something out of recycled items. For the math part I will be making charts of how much more clean my environment got! For my science part of my talent 21 project I am going to be typing up the data and research that I did. Do you want our earth to look like a landfill? I know that I don’t want my local environment to look like a landfill.**// Did you know that 75% of Americans have admitted to littering in America? Men ages 18 to about 30 usually litter the most. We need to help our enviornment! Rats and other rodents are attracted to our garbage and litter thats why there are so many === === rodents living near us. Do you want rats and mice in our local residents?The photo below was taken on one of our beaches in New Jersey. === media type="custom" key="16530804" = __**Who?**__ Americans were the first people to litter. = = __**What?**__ Litter is left over trash from people throwing trash around like it's nothing, and like there's no effect but they're wrong. = = __**Where?**__ Littter comes from garbage cans getting knocked over, from throwing trash around on the ground like it doesnt't matter where it goes because they don't care about our enviornment. = = __**Why?**__ People litter bacause they're lazy, they don't care, lack of an open mind towards the enviornment. = = __**When?**__ People litter all of the time. Nobody knows exactly when people started littering but it has gotten worse since then and this is now so we need to make a difference now because what's done is done. = = = = The average person creates a total of 1,600 pounds of garbage a year. Did you know that in Mexico households, they have 30% more waste than America? So we aren't the only country that is having these littering problems. The WM Recycle of America, Americans alone throw away so much aluminum to make the full commercial air fleet of the U.S.A.! That is astonoshing! About 35% of what makes up landfills is paper waste! So all that paper that has just a tiny dot on it and you throw it out, that makes garbage and landfills become an ever bigger problem! = = Math: = =The websites I used to help me:= Google.com Fodey.com Voki.com Animoto.com Textspace.com Science:
