The Environment

      Where I live in the south part of Fort Myers close to Estero, looking around the apartment complex that I live in, most of the pollution is being caused by the littering of bottles and cans throughout the parking lot and grassy areas of the complex. The Apartment complex that I live in is strictly college students with lenient security. The combination of the two just leads to uncontrolled parties and harm to our planet. The difficulty involved with eliminating the littering surrounding the buildings is that most drunk college students tend to be too irresponsible to clean up their mess or dispose of their bottles, cans, and other trash into a trash can. If one were to try to talk some sense into one of these students, they wouldn't get anywhere because most of the students simply don't care.
      Lately, there has been such a long waiting list to lease these apartments that the owner recently bought the untouched woodsy lot beside the complex thats full of animals and their homes to knock down and completely destroy so he can have more apartments built. Not only is destroying and the murder of these woods and animal's homes is cruel and but is also degrading the environment. The machines being used to cut down the trees and clean out the area are also causing a lot of air pollution. Unfortunately, there is not much one can do about the growth of society and the need to build more homes, but there is a more efficient way to build while minimizing the degradation and the pollution within the environment by saving areas to preserve the wildlife, not polluting and providing the animals a sanctuary to live in. Although some people simply don't care about the planet overall and just about the present time, there are others though who do care and do their part by recycling and helping save this planet. Every helping hand counts even the smallest performance of the prevention of pollution can make a difference. If those who cared more tried to branch out to at least one person a day and get them to lend a hand, it would have a big impact on our environment.
