Talent 21  **Hypothesis: ** As students we can reduce our ecological footprint on our local environment by cleaning up on the streets around us. **Why do people litter? People litter because… ** **They can’t be bothered or are too lazy to find a bin. ** **They have no sense of pride in their community. ** **If an area is already dirty, why bother looking for a trash can? ** If you ever litter people just have to pick up after you. They don’t mind sometimes but they get tired after awhile so we are going to start picking up the streets. **Experiment: **1. <span style="color: #b2a1c7; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;"> Grab trash bags out of pantry. 2. Walk outside and pick up all litter I see. 3. Bring all litter you picked up and bring it to the recycling company. 4. Walk back home proud that you helped your community. <span style="color: #8064a2; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
 * <span style="color: aqua; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Research: ** <span style="color: aqua; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Cleaning up the environment around you can improve your community. When trash is scattered around, the environment is an open home for the bugs/bacteria. Litter is killing animal’s environment and homes. The country's population size had grown from 361 million in 1951 to around 846 million in 1991 and 1027 million in 2001 therefore we are producing more and more litter.
 * <span style="color: #ff831d; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Who: ** <span style="color: #ff831d; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Everyone has a part in litter on the streets because when you through things out the window when you are driving down the street in your car or just walking down the street in general you are causing destruction to the environment.
 * <span style="color: #ff0066; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">What: **<span style="color: #ff0066; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Litter effects living organisms and their habitat. For example, birds think trash is leaves and sticks and they end up using them for their nests.
 * <span style="color: #660066; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Where: **<span style="color: #660066; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Scattered around on the side of the road in Mays Landing, NJ.
 * <span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">When: **<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">between the years of 1990 and 2011 littering has become a huge problem and even before that it was.
 * <span style="color: lime; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Why: **<span style="color: lime; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">People are too lazy to find a trash can and use their time and effort just to through it in there.
 * <span style="color: aqua; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">How: **<span style="color: aqua; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">We all plan to clean up the streets in the environment around us and make our living space a better place to be.
