*About 100,000 sea mammals and turtles choke on or get tangled in plastic ocean debris each year.
*Every 12 minutes a fire starts because of litter.
*Litter causes thousands of accidents per year (for example, paper can get caught on your windshield while you're driving), and disease-carrying mosquitoes and rats thrive in it.
*Studies show that people are less likely to litter in clean areas than trashy ones.
