Littering is the biggest problem in Barangay 183, Villamor. Littering has a severe impact on our environment, which is degrading it at an alarming rate. Many people do not appear to believe that littering has a negative impact on the environment. If we do not take action as soon as possible, it will have a major impact on us in the near future.

According to Conserve Energy Future, litter is any kind of trash thrown in small amounts, especially in places where it doesn’t belong. With time, it heaps up. The practice is unlawful because it costs municipalities millions of dollars annually in cleanup costs. It also portrays a bad picture of an area. The most frequent littered stuff includes fast food packaging, cigarette butts, used drink bottles, chewing gum wrappers, broken electrical equipment parts, toys, broken glass, food scraps, or green wastes.

Even practices such as leaving items overflowing beside a dust bin, deliberate throwing of items from vehicles, and abandoning items or wrappers by the roadside qualify as littering. Littering is a dangerous activity and should not be taken lightly because it impacts the environment in multiple ways. 

I'm spreading awareness so that the Pasayeño may take action. I also want to educate the Pasayeño about littering, which will have a bad impact on the ecology in the future. I hope all will participate and be responsible for their actions to solve this problem that we are facing right now. And please by signing this petition will be a great help
