Hello, Are names are Katie and Maddie.
Thank you very much for taking interest in our Blog. Littering affects many life forms, but mainly it affects animals. Are you are the selfish person that goes and drops litter, and doesn’t think about the effects that the tiny piece of litter you have just dropped will have on the wildlife and environment? If we are honest, we have all dropped some litter at some time in out lives …

Numerous animals are affected by littering, marine and land wildlife. So many animals go extinct because of our carelessness and selfishness. We damage their homes with our litter and we rip out their homes because we haven’t got enough homes for ourselves! We drop 2.2 million pieces of litter every day! This costs £858,000,000 to clean up.

Animals depend on your support for survival and without you and me they’d be nowhere, but without us dropping litter they wouldn’t need your support. Devon wildlife Trust helps and takes care of animals that have been affected by litter and humans and it also is there for you to join and to help them with the money to help animals in need.

Lots of people are the culprits to animals in pain and everyone has dropped some litter in their life. It would make the world of difference if you stopped dropping litter, but imagine if everyone stopped dropping litter. Animals would stop being caught and hurt and killed by litter and we would have a cleaner world to live in. We are the ones who can make the difference to animals survival and there are hundreds of animals gone extinct we could of stopped. Now they’re gone we can’t focus on the past put we can make the difference in the future to stop more animals going extinct.

Many people know what’s happening but refuse to do anything about it and we should be the ones to get up off our chairs and get out there and do something good for our world that’ll make a difference today and in the future.

Please take a minute to think about what that bit of litter will kill and harm next time you think about dropping something! Thank you for reading our Blog. We be very grateful if you could please take a moment to answer the questions below.

1. Have we made you think a little more carefully about your littering behaviour?!
2. Are you less likely to drop litter in the future?

    Hi Maddie and Katie,

    Your blog has shown me how you should really treat the world and how you should treat animals in distress. You have now persuaded me to never (hopefully) drop litter again as i now know what effects it can do to the wildlife and there nature. Thank you for doing your advocacy on this emotional topic. ;)
