I am pretty sad with this because it is one of the many things that we need to fight; the waste management and the manner of spreading it. Hopefully, we can make ourselves as ways to solve the problem. If we will also become a problem, then we shouldn't either choose not to be part of it! There are ways we can do to help in. saving the environment.
