Hortatory Text Exposition

6

We still often find people throwing garbage in the river. Even the garbage that was thrown away
there were several bags. Some unscrupulous companies also often dispose of factory waste in
rivers. As a result, rivers are polluted and can cause flooding.

First, throwing garbage in the river is a very bad act. In addition to polluting rivers, plastic waste
can also cause flooding. Because the flow of river water when it rains will be heavier and carry
plastic waste into the water channel in front of the house. If plastic waste clogs the waterways,
then the flood will come soon.

Plastic waste in rivers often drifts into the sea. We often meet dolphins who eat plastic. Many
turtles, fish, and other marine animals die because their habitat is damaged.

Factory waste dumped into rivers is very dangerous for health. Especially people who take river
water for consumption.

Those who still throw garbage into the river, should be dealt with firmly and given a penalty. If
we see people throwing garbage into the river, we must rebuke them. Don’t throw garbage in
the river because it will have a bad impact on marine animals
