How does littering affects the air?

Answer 1

• Littering harms the environment because not everything will disintegrate so it lies there to rot and animals can be walking along, smell your trash, eat it, and die.
• If you throw a drink with stuff left in it, it may harm the plants around where it lands and spills.
• If you litter in a forest a lot of animals may move because they realize the mysterious stuff (trash) that they find is killing them because most animal don't know what they are eating so it might get harm very badly. and animal moved away and the habitats keeps growing and growing then it well be a mess.
• A lot of money is spent locally just trying to clean local highways and sidewalks.
• Our bodies of water are affected because animals that live in those bodies of water can no longer be sold at local seafood restaurants because the risk of salmonella and e coli.
• It easily is a problem locally and nationally.
• It harms animals
• It causes pollution
• It makes everywhere look untidy
• Litter affects not just land but water and air, polluting and killing poor animals.
• If there are chemicals in or on the product then it might create a deadly chemical called leachate which when combined with rainwater would go into our run off and pollute our drinking water, possibly killing people.
• its affect us by leaving trash on the floor and it goes straight to the ocean kills the poor animals.

Answer 2

We may not all agree on the answer to this question, but here are some things to consider:

The only way to answer that will be answered a few hundred, thousand, or even million years from now. What we may find is that the human race is no longer alive and all that we left behind a thin layer of sediment that is composed of radioactive hydrocarbons.

Right now, the average cow in India has at least two plastic bags in its stomach. Each square mile of the earth's surface has at least one item of plastic debris. We have had accidents like Tepco, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Exxon Valdez, BP Gulf Oil Spill, and others. Also, nuclear subs from both the US and Russia have sank. We produce enough plastic bottles every year to circle the globe many times. We also produce enough radioactive material each year to kill every living creature on the planet.

All this stuff has to go somewhere,and it is going nowhere but into our environment.

Think of our environment as being your living room, because our environment is our "living room." So, do you want to sit and watch your favorite TV show and eat your dinner while radioactive petroleum sludge is seeping from your carpet?

That has "sort-of" already happened. The Love Canal in New York State was a city built on top of industrial waste. And, many innocent children developed leukemia, higher than the national average. They finally abandoned the city because it was too toxic.

There is no way, at the present moment, for us to abandon the earth. So if we don't clean up, we will have to get out, one way or another.

The only way to answer this question is to come back from future.
Let's say I threw a plastic bag in the water a fish or bird can see that and mistake it for food and eat it and since plastic doesn't digest in there stomach it can build up in the animal and kill it plastic also doesn't erode so it will stay on the ground for about a few centuries before breaking down same goes for tin now if you threw something like a banana peel or leftovers from other fruit that would degrade at a much faster rate and help the environment. PLASTIC= bad FRUITS OR VEGETABLES= ok sort-of because your still breaking the law

Answer 3

Littering in the environment can effect it in many ways. The most obvious way is that it pollutes things. Dumping chemicals in a body of water for example can intoxicate the water and all the wildlife that inhabit it such as fish.
