What does litter do to the Mother Nature?

Answer 1

Well first of all, it isn't right regardless. But to answer your question, they can eat it and it could do damage to their intestinal tract by causing a blockage. Then they would die a slow and painful death. They can get tangled in some trash. The plastic that holds sodas together, strings,ribbons,etc can get tangled around legs,wings and necks that can cause strangulation's amputations(with infections), etc.Some animals can't vomit and can't expell the litter. Hope this helps

Answer 2

Littering primarily affects animals because they eat the garbage or get entangled in it. Millions of unwitting seabirds die annually because they've eaten so much trash that doesn't digest and gets trapped in their stomach, that they can't fit any real food. Discarded fishing lines and nets can also entangle animals, even as large as manatees. Especially if trash falls in a location where it can go down a storm drain, it is very likely to end up in a river or ocean, where it does the most damage. Trash even leaches toxic chemicals that can poison the water.

Answer 3

Litter for a start pollutes oceans, but it also attracts marine animals and they eat the rubbish. When fish, dolphins, penguins, seals or water birds eat plastic, mostly they choke on it. If it doesn't hurt any marine animals, there is a big chance it will end up in Pacific Gyre, which is a pile of rubbish in the Pacific Ocean the size of Australia. That can't be good for marine animals either.

Hope that helped :)

Answer 4

Because most is not biodegradable and much of it ends up in storm drains and then the ocean.
