The weakness in the editorial is that it relies too much on

a. factual information.

b. sweeping generalizations.

c. irrational personal opinions.

d. irrelevant supporting details.

last week, i took my dog herald to the dog park. i took him off his leash, and like always, he ran around with glee and played with the other dogs. at one point, i saw him sniffing and licking at something by a tree, but i didn’t think anything of it . . until i saw his vomit and diarrhea. i immediately rushed him to the vet, and what i discovered blew my mind. the veterinarian found two cigarette butts in his stomach. because of an inconsiderate litterer, my poor dog was poisoned.
litterbugs need to wake up and see what their careless actions are doing to the environment. animals get poisoned, water supplies get polluted, people get fatally injured, and our world gets ugly.

there is absolutely no excuse for littering. if there isn’t a trash can nearby, just hang onto your trash until you see one. so what if there’s already a pile of litter there? do you think adding to the pile ? and for your information, no “biodegradable” object disappears anytime soon.
“keep america beautiful,” and don’t litter!
