Human behaviours that affect the local area

There are lots of ways that our behavoiur can effect the local area. These are some of them.

Chinese Lanterns

Chinese lanterns are sometimes quite fun but they are also really dangerous. They are set on fire and then let lose into the sky. If they are let go in a city then they might fly into a tall building and set fire to it. When they float down to the ground they might land in a field or a tree where animals are living, and the animals might get stuck in them.

Dog Litter

When people don't pick up thier dog's litter children who haven't seen dog litter before might touch it and then become ill. The same thing could happen to animals. If they step in it and then clean themselves after a while, they may get ill and die.

Fly Tipping

Fly Tipping is where someone who doesn't want something any more puts it on the edge of the road and expects someone to take it away. Fly Tipping is like massive scale littering. If someone leaves a washing machine out then an animal could get shut in it or hurt themselves with it.

Littering

Littering is when you drop something on the floor such as a coke can or a sweet wrapper. If it is a coke can, then an animal might come to have a look at it and get trapped in it. This would lead to them getting killed! If it is a sweet wrapper, then the animal might try to eat it and get ill. This would also lead to it getting killed.
