Litter Hurts
- Plastic bags trap and choke animals
- Six pack rings are known to cause deformities
- Fishing lines and cast nets cut and trap marine life
- Animals can get trapped or cut by tin cans
- Discarded batteries causes mercury poisoning
- Motor oil and pesticides are toxic to both animals and the environment
- Animals swallow cigarette butts which causes poisoning and death
- Glass bottles trap small mammals
- Antifreeze – paint thinners – cleaning solutions – when these are dumped into storm drains, they end up in a nearby river and eventually the ocean.
