Building Landfills Cause More Pollution

    According to the article "Trash Problems" it states how landfills overflowing have been a problem, as a result more landfills are building, and therefore garbage trucks are charging more money to people to take the trash to landfills. Henceforth, people are throwing away their trash in the ocean, forest, and other environmental places. I agree with the article for many reasons. One reason is that if we let landfills overflow, garbage trucks are going to charge more money to the people. Consequently, more and more people are going to throw their trash somewhere else other than the landfills provided because of the cost. As a result, the ocean would get  more polluted and filled with trash, consequently killing the animals and other living organisms in the ocean. In the article it states "Since the 1940s, plastic has increased dramatically. It can harm or kill many animals. Many animals mistake the plastic for food, resulting in eating the plastic. They have also become entangled in discarded or lost nets"(Trash Problems). This shows how if we don’t put an end to this disaster then more and more lives of animals are going to be in danger. Another reason I agree with the article that trash is a problem, affecting the environment is that because many Americans don't recycle and if we don't it would affect the environment. It states in the article "The garbage of today doesn’t just carry a bad odor, but it is also bad for the environment"(Trash Problems). Lastly, I agree with this article that trash is affecting the environment because the trash on the roads and sewers makes pollution another problem. We know that pollution is bad for the air and citizens like us so therefore we need to act on this problem and reduce pollution.
