Trash on land and in the sea can cause serious problems for both humans and animals. Plastic garbage, for example, can float in the ocean for years and kill birds and fish when they eat it by mistake. Although one way of handling the problem is to clean up the ocean and landfills, a more effective solution is to reduce the amount we produce.
Many cities have programs to make people aware of the problem. For example, San Francisco has a zero-waste program. Signs throughout the city show which types of material are suitable for recycling. The SF Environment website reports that if people recycle correctly, the city can reduce landfill waste by 90 percent.
