Hypothesis


Why do we tend to litter even with the many trash cans at our disposal? How is littering affecting our environment and us?  Why people litter, is a complicated question, with no easy answer. Research by "Cincinnati is Beautiful," a campaign launched to prevent litter showed that some of us who litter, often have no sense of ownership. Meaning that, we say "this is not ours, so we might as well destroy it."  Another reason why people litter is the belief that "someone will pick it up for me." Some people even use the excuse that they are creating jobs for the people who clean, a statement which is rather harsh and selfish. We should know that, destroying our surroundings is no joke. Not all of us want to live in a world of filth. We must all try our hardest to stop littering.
