I am doing a Nature Bowl project about how fast-food litter affects the environment and animals. One example is that a porcupine could crawl into a cup for its leftovers, and get stuck and lose its life because its quills are facing the other way.
Studies have shown that fast-food litter accounts for 32 percent of the trash in the world. I think the restaurants should reduce the amount of packaging. This could reduce more than half of the litter. It is important that everyone pitches in to help the environment.
