Answer:

How is Littering Bad for the Environment?

Other than just being unsightly, litter can cause serious consequences for the environment.

Litter Causes Pollution

As litter degrades, chemicals and microparticles are released. These chemicals aren’t natural to the environment and can, therefore, cause a number of problems. For example, cigarette butts can contain chemicals such as arsenic and formaldehyde. These poisons can make their way into the soil and freshwater sources, impacting both humans and animals. In fact, 60% of water pollution is attributed to litter.

In addition to water and soil pollution, litter can also pollute the air. Researchers estimate that more than 40% of the world’s litter is burned in the open air, which can release toxic emissions. These emissions can cause respiratory issues, other health problems, and even be a starting base for acid rain.  

Litter Kills Wildlife

Animals are innocent victims affected by litter every day. Researchers estimate that over one million animals die each year after ingesting, or becoming entrapped in, improperly discarded trash.

Plastic litter is the most common killer of animals, and marine animals are the most notably affected. Each year over 100,000 dolphins, fish, whales, turtles, and more drown after becoming entangled in or digesting plastic litter.

Litter Facilitates the Spread of Disease

Improperly discarded trash is a breeding ground for bacteria and diseases. Litter can spread diseases, viruses, and parasites through two methods, direct and indirect contact.

Germs can be transmitted directly by physically coming into contact with litter. This can happen by picking up, touching, or by accidentally injuring themselves on improperly disposed of trash.

Bacteria and parasites can also be transmitted to humans indirectly through an affected vector. Vectors are animals or insects that come in contact with contaminated litter and then transmit those contaminates to humans.

Litter Solutions and Prevention

So now that we understand why litter is harmful, it’s time to discuss potential solutions. Here are three ways we can fight back against litter today.

2. At first, Sindbad kicks<br> aside this precious<br> material because he is so..
netineya [11]

Answer:

I am also working on that but I hope this helps:

I ate part of my little store of food and lay down to sleep, but all through the night the serpents crawled to and fro, hissing horribly, so that I could scarcely close my eyes for terror. I was thankful when the morning light appeared, and when I judged by the silence that the serpents had retreated to their dens I came tremblingly out of my cave and wandered up and down the valley once more, kicking the diamonds contemptuously out of my path, for I felt that they were indeed vain things to a man in my situation. At last, overcome with weariness, I sat down upon a rock, but I had hardly closed my eyes when I was startled by something which fell to the ground with a thud close beside me.

Pls can anyone tell this answer
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

"Did you hear about David getting hit by a two-wheeler?" Rahul said, walking by Varun. "What!? When?" He gasped in shock. "He was hit by a motorcycle on his way back from school yesterday," Rahul answered. "How does someone do that?" He asked, seeming genuinely confused. "He was crossing the road at a zebra crossing and I guess a speeding person jumped traffic and he got hit." "Is he hurt?" Varun wondered. "Just a fractured arm." Varun sighed and realized "He won't be able to do the Inter-school swimming contest next week. And he would have won too," "Yeah you should have seen how upset he was"
