Litter

Rubbish that has been left in the wrong place instead of being put in a bin.
Example of Danger: A discarded plastic bag can trap a small animal like a hedgehog.

💡 Fun Facts

  • A plastic bag can take up to 1,000 years to break down, and even then, it just becomes tiny toxic pieces called microplastics.
  • A hedgehog has between 5,000 and 7,000 spines, which are actually hollow hairs made stiff with keratin.
  • Even small pieces of litter, like bottle caps, can be eaten by animals, causing them serious harm.
