Literature Review
• “Litter is anything that is thrown, dropped or deposited in a public place creating an eyesore and/or environmental damage. It can be described as rubbish in the wrong place” (http://www.docstoc.com/docs/2235657/What-is-litter-Why-is-litter-a-problem).

Research Question
•What are the physical, social, and environmental effects of littering?
![Page 6: Presentation1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051513/546e9f89af79599a798b53b6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Littering?
• Trash on the sidewalk
• In our neighborhoods
• An issue in OUR city
![Page 7: Presentation1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051513/546e9f89af79599a798b53b6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why Littering?
• What I hoped to find:
– Why do people litter?
– Why are some neighborhoods cleaner than others?
– Who is responsible for cleaning the city of Boston?
– Do corner stores, garbage trucks, train stations contribute to the trash on streets?
– Are there enough trash cans provided in neighborhoods in Boston
![Page 8: Presentation1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051513/546e9f89af79599a798b53b6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
So, what’s the Problem?
• Actions of people- people who throw their trash out on the streets
• Not enough trash cans in neighborhoods and streets
• Illegal Dumping
• Negligence from the city’s part to provide an equal amount of resources to each neighborhood in Boston.

Hypothesis
• So we thought…– Only people who litter (litterbugs) were
involved
– The city wasn’t doing anything about it
– People don’t care about their neighborhoods
– Youth were the main contributors

Literature Review

Literature Review
• “… as people's perceptions of neighborhood decline increase, it's more likely that crime will occur and that criminals will be drawn to the area because it appears more likely that criminal behavior will be tolerated or ignored” (Impact of Litter, 2).
![Page 12: Presentation1](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051513/546e9f89af79599a798b53b6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Literature Review
• “Some explanation of why people litter is that it is an anti-social behavior, the result of negligence, habit, or lack of education about the impact of littering” (Impact of Litter, 3).

Defense/Evidence
• Jenkins described what the word environment means to ACE, –“Environment is where you
live, learn, play, therefore environmental justice (which is what ACE strives to do) is how people interact with their surroundings.”
