The following is a student's response to the question, "What can you do to improve the environment?"
I think that it is good for the environment to pick up a trash. I have two reasons.
Firstly, if we do that, the places where we pick up trsh will be clean. I joined a volunteer work on the last summer vacation. After the firwork festival, I went to the river bank and picked up trash. It was very early morning, so I was sleepy. I wanted to finish. But when my teacher said to me, "There was no trash. This place is clean. It's thanks to you," I was happy. I thought it is good to pick up trash.
Secondly, it is easy to pick up trash. Even small children can do. And even for a short time, we can do. So we should pick up trash for the environment.
In this way, I think it is effective to pick uptrash. So I want to join volunteer activities from now on. And I want to pick up trash in many places such as schools and parks myself. To pick up trash is easy and we feel good when the places are cleaned. So it is effective.
