Persuasive Essay: Litering by Mia Van Doren

Do you think littering should stop? Well you're right! Let me explain to you why. Sea life could die out! Also, do you want to walk in trash?! Adding on to that, it smells!

One reason littering should stop is sea life could die! That means the
  animals can become extinct! Sea turtles mistake plastic bags for
jellyfish. It could get stuck in its system and it could die! According to scientists over 1 million sea turtles died in 3 years from litter in the ocean.

Another reason littering should stop is it's everywhere on the

streets! It could catch on fire! That could set your house on fire!
And no one likes to get gum on their shoe. Littering could be dangerous. You can slip on plastic wraps. I know that that feels pretty embarrassing. I think you don't like it either. No one does. And if you're walking your dog, some food or a drink could have been spilled over. If your pet eats or drinks it, it could get sick or have a shorter lifespan!

Another reason littering should stop is it smells! Do you like

inhaling trash? If you like to go to the the beach it stinks. The
litter makes the places you love to go to, or even just to go to get some fresh air, it won't work! I used to walk down the same block when I was little. A nice garden, peaceful, quiet- NOT ANYMORE! The litter piled up and it smells!

Littering is a terrible and horrible thing. The sea life could be gone

forever! The litter could cause a fire. It could burn down a whole
block of buildings! And on top of everything it has a terrible stench! Lets make the world a better place to be! Stop littering!!!!!!
