There is no such thing as away.

Have you ever thought about what happens to your used water bottles or your empty Doritos bag that you threw away? Well, it doesn’t just disappear. When you throw away one soda bottle it doesn’t go away until 450 years has passed. That’s a long time for one bottle to decompose.

America is the leading country for how much trash we throw away. We throw away 624,700 metric tons per day! Also just in New York we throw away 12,000 tons every day all together. That’s 24,000,000 pounds. And as one person you throw away 4.3 pounds of trash. Now does that really make you think, because that really makes me think.

We should really start to think about how we should fix this problem or the land will be a giant trash pile eventually, and we will have to eat trash just like that cow.
