Littering Fines Should be Raised

1: May encourage lazy people to actually do something with their garbage and recyclable waste. 2: May change the amount of garbage we drop on the ground. 3: Litter make parks schools and our world look ugly, dirty and messy

I realize that the littering fine should be raised because people are destroying our green spaces.

Last weekend I was walking to our local park, I was hoping to have a great time. But when I Got there I saw alot of garbage, there were also garbage next to the garbage. It was very had to enjoy me walk I've been look forward to all last week. It may be fast just to drop your garbage but you are also destroying your world faster by doing that. It was very hard to enjoy my time at the park because I kept think about all the litter that is slowly killing our world. So I think that the smoking fines should be raised because it can lead to a messy and dirty world. You can waste you money of you litter in Calgary, the fine is up to 1,000 dollars. My perceptive to this issue is that I care for the Earth and I want to stop the people who are ruining the world. I think that everything we buy should be in reusable containers or just raise the fine. There are drawbacks to like we only have enough space to make landfills for another 9 years!!! There might be more unrecyclable waste being added to recycling bins or boxes.

So I really think the fine should be raised.
