My Micro theme is in regards to the act of littering.
I have caught myself littering by throwing small pieces of trash out my car window or on the ground. I can assume others have done something similar or even the same things I have. For me personally I have caught myself committing the act of littering because I was simply just trying to throw away the piece of trash I had. I didn’t want it in my car and I rolled down my window and threw it out. Other times I have caught myself leaving stuff in my car causing it to pile up. But what causes us to go and throw trash out on the ground and litter?
When we think of trash and throw it away, there needs to be a place for us to throw it away. Now I know people normally don't try to or have malicious intentions to litter wherever and whenever. But we need to see the causes of littering, where does it start/or happen. If someone is driving they may not think to stop and throw something away. This may be a reason that there is littering and why it's so common. Another reason may be that some people don’t care if they litter. It may not cross their mind, and may not affect them in any way.
If we could understand the question, what causes us to go and throw trash out on the ground and litter? We could find out why we do it as humans. It may be because we do it mindlessly or that we don't care when we do it. Most people don’t know much about the climate and the importance of keeping our earth clean. I know I can always learn more about the effects of littering, but I want to start to fix the problem from the causes of it. The mindless littering we see and do almost every day.
Hi Matt. Good job on this. My only tip of advice would be to make sure you aren't making a new claim at the beginning of the second paragraph about the place you throw stuff away.
ReplyDeleteHello, Matt! Well done with your Microtheme. The topic you choose was very interesting and contained a good question. If this is your actual microtheme though, the third paragraph and second paragraph almost seemed flipped as the second paragraph should contain questions that ponder why people litter, but that's what you put in your third paragraph instead. Other than that, keep up the good blogs!
ReplyDeleteYeah, great draft! I do feel para 2 could do more, and you could condense para 1 and get to the question. Also, excellent graphic!
