It depends on what the litter is. If it is totally free of synthetic chemicals and is biodegradable, it most likely will not hurt the soil and may help it. It is always best, though, to dispose of litter in the proper containers, use it in a compost pile if you know for sure it is chemical free, or recycle it.

How does soil affect earth an its landscape?

You could litter on it causing it to erode away. Then no plants can grow and then we won't get as much healthy food as we do now. Don't litter to help the environment and soil. Also, soil helps a tree grow so you don't want to waste paper because then we need more trees and for trees to grow, we need soil. Use both sides of the paper and recycle.
