Just a Reminder:Humane Actions Towards Animals Includes Not Littering (GRAPHIC IMAGES)

 I am posting this because the first thing I noticed as I looked out today at the road I live on is a nasty box that formerly contained cigarettes and a butt from a cig in front of my mailbox. I don't want the chemicals from those death sticks polluting the ground and water.I often wish I had an apparatus that would automatically send litter back to its owner......
This is quoted from earth911.com

"Land-based litter is usually the result of improperly discarded trash by beachgoers or from areas where trash gets washed into sewers or storm drains and finds its way to major waterways. Common types of marine debris include plastic bags, bottles and cans, cigarette filters, bottle caps and lids. For this reason, recycling-on-the-go can be a major player in helping curb this harmful litter.Always dispose of any trash properly, even if you’re in the street away from the beach. Often, misplaced trash runs into the ocean through storm drains or the wind carries it to the water."



FACT: Ingesting litter causes injury or death to thousands of pets, wild and farm animals.

"Litter kills or injures animals. Many small animals crawl into bottles or jars and get stuck and slowly starve to death. Animals get caught in plastic six pack rings, plastic bags, fishing line and a multitude of throwaways. Birds that are stuck, can’t fly away from danger. Sometimes animals caught in six pack rings are strangled as they grow too big for the opening. Animals get cut, infected and die. Every year, millions of birds, fish and animals die from litter."
