When these things are thrown away, they become part of the trash that can pile up in our surroundings. The meal leftovers, banana peelings, twigs, and weeds are biodegradable, so they can slowly decompose and turn into soil over time, but if there’s too much, they can create bad smells and attract pests. Items like juice cartons, plastic bottles, glass bottles, and pieces of cloth don’t break down easily and can stay in the environment for years, causing pollution and harming animals. Throwing them away carelessly can make our streets and rivers dirty, so it’s important to separate waste and recycle or compost when we can[tex].[/tex]
