Author: The other day i was waking along the road next to the lake and like usuall i threw my sub wraper and drink into the lake. My friend was like "yo ur litering". But i think hes dumb.
I find that when you throw things in a large body of water, the next day its gone. If the garbage disapears how is it really littering?

You contaminate the water and harm the aquatic life in the water, especially if the stuff is non-biodegradable. Just put your litter into the litter bin. Otherwise, why should they place litter bins everywhere? Use your head.
yes, it disappears. and reappears. ever heard of the great pacific garbage patch? 80% of the trash in oceans comes from rivers. do you think it simply biodegrades in a day? it takes a lot of time for things to decompose and you still wont get rid of them. you are probably eating carbon atoms that were once a part of the human body. when a body is decomposing, it releases CO2. then plants like fruits and wheat absorb these carbon atoms to build themselves.
sounds like you are very ignorant about the physics and chemistry of this world.
um. u are very very stupid. no offence but how old are you. well yo, yes you are littering.
Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there. If you walked around the lake shore I’m certain you will find many of your sub-wrappers and drinks bottles, and maybe some dead wildlife that got caught in them and couldn’t escape.
For example so many turtles are dying because they swallow plastic bags in the ocean. When the plastic bags are full of water drifting in the sea they look like jellyfish, which turtles eat. When birds dive into the water to catch fish they can get drink can holders around their necks which strangle them. Even whales can die from getting entangled in ropes and other things people throw out into the sea thinking, I won’t see it tomorrow, it’s not a problem.
Throwing out litter is hugely irresponsible. I don’t think you would like accidentally swallowing your sub wrapper, or watching your home filling with rubbish. Your friend is smarter than you. If you stop littering, maybe try to clean it up and encourage friends to put their rubbish in bins (or recycle it!) you will be helping so many creatures and helping to keep the planet beautiful.
