What I have to say about our environment is that we should keep it nice, clean, healthy, and quiet for everybody to see or use. Would you like to live in a dump or unclean place, Or have a safe for us kids to have fun? I can give three reasons why to keep our environment clean 1. It will smell bad if dirty. 2. Do you want to step in something you don't like. 3. We probably wouldn't have some of the things we have today if other people didn't clean up their mess.

Clean up your own mess. Now what we should do is tell people to appreciate what and where they live in or at. If you eat something and you have to throw away the wrapper don't put it on the ground find a trash can and put in it there. What is so hard about putting your garbage in a trash can. My two year old nephew can do better than most people, if he sees something that he didn't do he'll go and pick it up and put it in the garbage.

So if you see something on the ground pick it up or if you see someone throw something on the ground tell them to pick it up and throw it away.
