Those ways can include littering or simply taking out the trash, flushing toilets and draining bathtubs. Can cause damage to local ecosystems. It is also a threat to plant and animal life. Garbage can suffocate and kill not just land animals but sea creatures too. But garbage can also be useful in other sorts of ways. It can be a resource or food supply for large amounts of wild life animals. Some animals do get there food from neighborhood trash bins or restaurant dumpsters. For example, in Costa Rica, individuals burn their garbage on a daily and weekly basis. Instead of burning plastics, styrofoam,  and other garbage that may render useful in creating products, a neighborhood collection, cleaning, and creation facility may be set up to transform garbage into products. When we trash food, plastic, paper and everything else, it must go somewhere, right? But often that somewhere is a place we we choose not to think about. The thing is that people have to think about the fact that trash affects the whole planet. Any type of trash can get in all cracks or small spaces whether the size of trash. Several industries and corporations have created a zillion things to be thankful for, the and the transportation that brings food to the employee tables. But it’s becoming increasingly clear that the way in which businesses is being done needs to undergo a strong shift. The waste and chemical component of goods has become too much for our planet to handle, and which we can see in the garbage patches, marine devastation, overfull landfills, and in our very own bodies.
