One reason to support the claim that littering is harmful to the environment is that it can have a negative impact on wildlife. According to the National Wildlife Federation, "Millions of animals die each year from ingesting or becoming entangled in litter." This shows that littering can directly harm animals and disrupt ecosystems. Additionally, litter can leach harmful chemicals into the soil and water, further damaging the environment. By properly disposing of waste, we can help protect wildlife and preserve the natural balance of ecosystems.
