Reflection

As I started to draw this, I thought about all the waste that is going into our nation’s landfills and into the ocean. Every year, people waste and litter anything they want into the drains or just on the streets. The amount of harm they are doing to the environment is not humane. All of this trash will go down into the drains and into the ocean. This is not only hurting the marine or land animals, but also hurting ourselves too. By littering, it is polluting the environment and even making trash piles in the ocean and land. That’s why I want to show people the harm they are causing if they just go around littering on the streets or anywhere they like.
