Globally, an estimated 11 million metric tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year, contributing significantly to litter. Additionally, studies suggest that around 2 billion tons of municipal solid waste are generated annually, with a substantial portion ending up as litter in urban and natural environments. This litter not only harms wildlife and ecosystems but also impacts human health and urban aesthetics. Efforts to reduce litter through community engagement and policy changes are crucial to mitigating this growing problem.

Why is important to reduce?

It is important to reduce for many reasons. The most obvious reason is that it cuts back on trash. Trash piles up in landfills year after year, and the trash is compacted so tight that air cannot penetrate the bottom layer of trash; therefore the trash will never decompose. So reducing the amount of trash you create will reduce the amount of buildup in landfills. Also a lot of items we use are not decomposable, so even if you did have the chance to decompose them, it wouldn't make a difference. Reducing the amount of water and food you waste is important because of landfill pile up too, but also because water and food are not renewable. That may seem unreasonable because the earth is mostly water, but most of that water is unusable, and the worlds large population is using it faster than it can replenish its self. Same goes for food. The land we grow our food on can only be used so much before it can no longer grow anything, and once again the population is requiring more food than our land can keep up with. This may not seem like a problem now because of how convenient it is too get food, but eventually when our land had no more nutrients to grow crops, the people living in that time will think back on today and realize how much food we wasted. So in reducing the amount of food we waste we can put off that dilemma for a little while.


How much do you pay an hour for being a forensic scientist?

That depends on the agency you are applying for but a typical scientist would make 40-60K a year. Which translates to $20-$30/hr.
