Was there a time you were so passionate about something you really believe it that it reduced you to tears? A 6-year-old boy recently had this emotional outburst after learning that animals have been harmed due to the litter that people leave behind. The boy makes a tearful plea to the citizens of the world to "think about what they're doing to the planet," and his video has gone viral.
Henry Marr from Mount Vernon in America expressed his frustration and disappointment after learning something really troubling in school. He found out, after watching a video in class, that littering is wrecking the planet and concluded that people are being rude to the rest of the world's living beings.
His mother, Allie Hall, posted Henry Marr's rant on Facebook and emphasized that her son wants "everyone to stop being dumb." The little boy asserts that he's going to fight bad people who litter or cut down trees when he grows up. His mom suggested he can start making posters about raising awareness regarding the environment. He told his mom in between sobs, "I'll do that and fight."

Harry is so passionate about ensuring the animals are safe from the threats in their environment that he says he wishes he was already an adult so he can do something. His mom reminds him that he doesn't have to be an adult to come up with a worthwhile cause.
The video ends with Henry Marr still in disbelief that baby animals are being fed litter. The viral video has already earned over 15 million views and thousands of shares. Watch it below:
Speaking with Buzzfeed News, Henry Marr revealed he has started his cause at home by leaving little messages for his family. He writes the reminders on pots or pans since paper can be wasteful. But he's planning on making posters to put up around the neighborhood to remind people what littering can do to animals.
The young boy and budding environmental activist still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up, but he's sure his job will involve "taking care of the planet" with a team people.
