About the possible solutions

What are the necessary conditions for any possible solution to work? For any possibly solution to work, I would have to make sure I present and know enough information about the issue to where people will listen to me and notice that littering is a problem. Also, I would have to make sure I had all the possible solutions planned out as to how I would make it work.

Are there budget or labor concerns? There are not really any budget concerns with any of my solutions, but if the problem doesn’t get fixed it will be very costly and increase labor; Furthermore, these solutions would take the help of many people. Police officers would have to do their part and enforce the “no littering” law in a harsher way, I would need volunteers to take time out of their day to help clean up trash, and someone to go around to different schools and organizations to present information about the negative effects littering has and why it would help make the world a better place if we stop it from happening.

 Does the public need to be aware of and support the solution? Yes! If the public is not aware of the solution, how would they be able to help fix the problem of littering? They also need to support the solutions so they will be motivated to help prevent this issue from getting even worse. Problems would arise if people didn’t support these because no one would want to help out with something they don’t approve of.

What challenges are there to implementing each solution? A challenge with the first solution about enforcing the “no littering” law in a harsher way, is to actually get the officers to abide by that rule and not let any kind of littering slide. They would have to be on the ball about making sure they fine people and letting them know how they’re damaging our environment, economy, and health. A challenge with the second solution about having someone inform people about the health effects of littering is to actually get people to listen to what the speaker is saying. Sure, you can make people attend these informative speaker sessions, but the challenge is actually getting them to listen and understand why we need to fix this problem. A challenge with the third solution of trying to get volunteers and organizations to help clean up trash, is actually finding volunteers and organizations to do that. You would have to make sure that they’re actually doing the job and cleaning and not just messing around. There are some challenges that go along with these solutions, but they’re challenges that can easily be face. 

What incentives do individuals, businesses, and government have to act on each possible solution? Each of these solutions would help out individuals, businesses, and the government. The main thing that should motivate everyone to want to abolish littering is that the world will be a much cleaner and healthier place. Individuals would be able to live happier and healthier lives, businesses won’t lose customers or money because their place will look more approachable, and the government will have more profits, more tourism, and happier people.
