It’s obvious that littering hurts the environment, and most schools do a unit on how important it is to dispose of our trash and recyclables properly. But litter doesn’t just pollute our forests, beaches, and sidewalks. Did you know that it can also be deadly to animals? Everyday items such as soda cans and plastic bottles can be lethal to unsuspecting wildlife and even dogs and cats. The good news? We can all do our part and take a little extra care to make sure our trash won’t hurt our animal friends!

If you’re teaching a lesson on recycling or making eco-friendly choices, share this post with your students to help prevent animals from suffering while also teaching environmental responsibility.
