It is not new that worldwide humanity is facing a serious problem regarding the randomly abandoned waste in natural areas and beyond. At the heart of this problem we can find the carelessness of people and, in some cases, a lack of environmental education, as well as the poor management of the authorities.

We might think that the impact of the waste we throw away randomly is non-existent or insignificant, but this type of behavior can affect both our health and the health of animals in many ways. Moreover, the way we behave can cause others, children or adults, to behave similarly, multiplying the amount of waste and their negative impact, both to the environment and to us, the humans.

The lack of involvement of the authorities is the icing on the cake when it comes to waste management, with local officials rarely aware of the economic implications of good or poor waste management.

We have prepared a list of 7 serious problems caused by garbage randomly dumped in nature, on the outskirts of localities or on the waterfront, which should make us think seriously when tempted to do such gestures.
