Litter is trash that's been carelessly discarded in public places. 🗑️ It includes things like wrappers, bottles, and cigarette butts. It's unsightly and harmful to the environment and wildlife. Think of it as graffiti, but with trash instead of paint. Picking up litter is a simple way to help keep our planet clean. It's a sign of disrespect for the community. Cleaning up litter helps keep parks and natural areas beautiful.
The word 'litter' comes from the Old French 'litiere,' meaning a bed or straw. Originally, it referred to straw used as animal bedding. Over time, it shifted to mean scattered refuse. This evolution reflects the idea of things being strewn about carelessly. Now, 'litter' specifically denotes improperly discarded waste.

Suddenly, the convention floor resembles a dystopian movie scene due to the litter. Don't be that person; always bin your trash!
