Why should you not throw your garbage on the ground?

If no one else will pick the litters up, it's going to go to the ocean and most of the stuff like plastic, metal, etc. is not biodegradable which means its gonna stay there for a long time and harm our Earth. Try recycling or throwing it away, putting it in a landfill is better that on the ground. Also some trash can harm plant's and animals like those plastic rings that hold soda together those can get caught around the heads of small animals and strangle them to death, example, a zip tie could get caught around a baby turtle but the turtle continued to grow and the zip tie was still there and the turtle grew around it and became deformed. You should not throw your trash on the ground as it pollutes our environment, a paper could land on a seed or a sapling and prevent it from growing. On top of that, trash makes our surrounding look dirty and messy and it can cause an extremely bad smell.
