Littering

All around the world for the last few decades trash has been a global issue. Even if we don’t realize it, this picture is great evidence that it is. In big cities like my own, Medellin, trash is taken to dumpsters and then it is disposed of. But in smaller cities with less resources, like those in La Guajira, trash is not disposed of, there is no recycling,  and so it is littered everywhere. This lowers the life quality of the people and the animals, which makes the environment suffer. A viable solution for this problem is to create greater awareness on all the consequences littering can cause. Also the people of the region need to consider options other than the consumption of plastic that can be recyclable and biodegradable. This will improve life quality in La Guajira, creating a long term solution for climate change. The actions of one person can change the world.
