Where do People Litter, and what Is Littered?

American Beautiful (KAB) 2009 National Survey to Determine Individual Behavior Keeping the Garbage and Garbage Cost Study Visible Essentially contributing to all areas of garbage. Individuals such as retail, entertainment, residential littering roads and highways:

Road garbage - Tobacco products, mainly cigarettes are most of the US products on the road (38%). It is followed by paper (22%) and plastic (19%). Most of the trash on roads and highways is caused by humans. Research shows that throwing garbage along the road, but being manufactured by individual actions:

Garbage from many sources on roads and highways in the "transition point", major garbage collection - non-road garbage

The transition point is the entrance to the commercial, transportation and must be the place before the other discarded items enter. It accounted for 29.8%, cigarette butts, followed by confectionery (candy, chocolate, chewing gum etc) (53.7%) scattering highest transition point rank

Attracting garbage elsewhere - at least including containers started to reject from the most non-road.

Besides, parking lots and storms are mainly discharged in the side grooves, designed to drain over rain paved roads. Rainwater pipes tend to attract cigarette butts, sweets and other junk

Load dock - loading from the truck and unloading merchandise retailers and wholesale in the trailer / area you can fill the back of the cigarette butts, candy and paper

Recreation area - Parks, beaches, playgrounds, open areas where people gather together for leisure activities for creating lots and creating many opportunities

Construction site - Active houses and commercial buildings are cigarette butts, paper and plastic traps

Retail - Commercial center, business center, convenience store, other high traffic area can produce waste, cigarette butt and candy packed on the ground

Garbage may put out garbage. Individuals tend to throw away garbage in a troublesome environment. Once you get there, it attracts more garbage. In contrast, a clean community hinders the community as a whole and improves the quality of life. Effectiveness and proximity of garbage and recycling of containers may also affect whether someone picks up garbage.

Waste is an important environmental problem. Surprisingly, 94% of people believe that waste is a major environmental problem, but people are still being littered. Garbage discarded accidentally will affect all members of society. It will harm human beings and animals, we will destroy our waterways, spend our money, suggesting that we do not mind our environment. Fortunately, we can prevent what we can and help us reduce waste. Research and experience knows that Junk is the result of personal actions - Choose garbage or carelessness when dealing with garbage. When garbage falls to the ground, I collect more garbage. In contrast, a clean community can improve the appearance and quality of life of the community, to prevent littering

Personal choice Personal action - or picking out garbage - means to throw garbage on the ground. Nearly a fifth of observations in public places, that is, 17% processing discards garbage, 83% garbage disposal is correct. And 81% littering is intentional such as flick, shake, fall. On the other hand, people think that littering is wrong, so those who feel that there is no obligation to litter do rarely do so. Garbage may put out garbage.
