3  Wildlife could get sick because they could eat the garbage.  Popped tires because of glass is on the ground and people run over the glass.  Car accidents happen because paper or other garbage could blow up on to someone’s windshield.

4 garbage could take years to decompose, even millions of years! Here are the decomposing time of some types of trash

5  Styrofoam container =1 million years  Plastic jug =1 million years  Aluminum can= 200-500 years  Disposable diaper =550 years  Tin can=90 years  Leather shoe=45 years  Wool sock=1 year  Paper bag=1 month  Banana peel=3-4 weeks

6  Fast food waste: 33%  Paper: 29%  Aluminum: 28%  Glass: 6%  Plastic: 2%  Other: 2%

7  There are fines that you need to pay for littering.  In a state park the fines could be lots of dollars, but in other places it could be less money.  Depending on how much litter, the fines may rise.  The rewards depend on how much trash each group picks up.

8  We hope this power point encouraged you to help pass the county cleaning group bill.
