People Poisoning Their Own Land
Isn't it amazing to think that in the only place you have to go, you throw trash on it, put debris on it, and leave it as messy as you would a trash disposal? This one place is our world, our environment, but yet people treat it as one large waste basket. You can not drive half a mile, shoot, not even a quarter of a mile without seeing over a load of trash on the sides of the roads, in the woods, on the road, and everywhere in between. It seems to be ridiculous that people would poison their own beautiful environment with disgusting ugly trash all over it. I have helped through community groups and what not to do community and environment clean up several times and I feel that if more people would help with these clean ups that the world would be a much prettier place. Think of how you would like to hang up a picture in your new home of you and your significant other on a beautiful beach in Nags Head....and then to the right of your foot... an empty soda bottle and to your left a beautiful sandwich bag, how attractive! In order to help this environment be a cleaner and better place, the solution would be to stop poisoning it with our pollution, but since not everyone cares about the looks, well being, and health of our one and only planet Earth, not everyone is going to feel the same way about not throwing that empty McDonald's bag out the window of your new vehicle to keep the inside clean. If only everyone thought of the world as their new vehicle, or house than maybe it would be a better place. The world is a huge place, and there is nothing that little old I could do to change the entire situation of the worlds well-being, but in my town and surrounding areas, I think that putting together a community cleanup would be the first place to start. Slowly, people will begin to see the beauty behind all the filth and maybe will respect the only place they have to call their hometown.

Yes, if more people were "planet conscious" and participated actively within their community, all striving towards one goal, that being to better our world, making it a more environmentally safe place, we all could actually make a difference. Even though this topic is being discussed more now than ever before, we all have to do our part, by not just listening to the speeches, or examining the research, but by devoting ourselves to doing our part in saving our Earth.
Litterbugs really get under my skin. Where I live my church has adopted a highway. The church gathers a bunch of us to go and pick up trash and you would be amazed of the stuff you pick up. Mostly beer bottles, which can be recycled; and trash that was brought from another county. Unbelievable.
