Litter in New Zealand
Okay kiddo, let's talk about litter in New Zealand! Litter is when people throw their garbage or rubbish on the ground instead of in a bin or trash can. This can make our world look really messy and can be harmful to animals and plants.
In New Zealand, people have a special word for litter - they call it "rubbish". There are lots of different ways that rubbish can end up on the ground. Sometimes people accidentally drop something while they're walking, and other times they might throw it on the ground because they don't feel like finding a bin.
Now, the good news is that lots of people in New Zealand care about the environment and want to keep it clean. There are special groups called "Keep New Zealand Beautiful" and "Love Your Coast" that work really hard to pick up litter and make sure people know how important it is to put their rubbish in the bin.
But, unfortunately, some people still don't think about the consequences of littering. Sometimes animals can eat the litter and get really sick, and it can also pollute the water and soil. That's why it's important for everyone to do their part and put their rubbish in the bin, even if it's just a small piece of paper.
So, remember kiddo, litter is when people throw their garbage on the ground instead of in the bin, and it's important to put your rubbish in the bin so we can keep New Zealand beautiful for animals and people alike!
