What does the no littering sign mean?

Do litter signs work?
If someone has enough disregard for public land and beauty that they’re considering littering, there’s a good chance that a stark “NO LITTERING” sign will do little to dissuade them. While the responses are clearly meant to be funny, the signs convey the truth that there’s no good or valid reason to litter.
Why should littering be stopped?
In addition to water and soil pollution, litter can also pollute the air. Researchers estimate that more than 40% of the world’s litter is burned in the open air, which can release toxic emissions. These emissions can cause respiratory issues, other health problems, and even be a starting base for acid rain.
What color are littering signs?
No dumping signs, no littering signs, and electric vehicle parking signs are green signs, too. Everyone knows that making an effort to recycle and go green whenever possible has a big impact, both locally, and globally.
Why is littering so important?
Litter is dirty and spoils our environment. Turtles, seals, birds and dolphins often mistake plastic waste for food. After animals eat plastic, their intestines get blocked and their normal food can’t be digested properly. If they eat too much plastic, their stomachs always feel full, so they don’t eat anything else.
