Litter Survey



As a class we did an experiment on littering on our campus. A group of student went out to take pictures of areas such as hallways, grassy pathways and quad BEFORE lunch. The areas were very clean and clear of litter, all grassy parts looked pleasant. Then AFTER lunch, another group went out to take pictures after lunch to take the pictures and they weren't so pleasant. Trash was EVERYWHERE! Especially in the quad where the majority of students sit to eat. Students are being really messy leaving their lunch containers and wrappers behind leaving the janitors clean up after them. The pictures showed hallways infested with litter, plastic bottles, food wrappers, and food containers with food spilled out. It really bugs me that people can't be clean and don't really care about the well being of our campus. I mean, if people can't do something as simple as throwing their trash in the garbage I feel sorry for them. We spend the majority of our life in school, the majority of hours a day at school so it's like our second "home away from home".That's why I think we should make it and keep it a really pleasant place to be.
