While there are many environmental challenges we face on a global level, what we do everyday can affect our environment globally and most importantly, locally. One such action is picking up trash in our community. Every piece of trash we pick up helps to keep our neighborhoods clean and safe.
Keeping our water, air, and land pollution-free is vital to everyday life. It’s our job to keep our Earth green! We must conserve as much energy as we can at home, at school, and in our day-to-day activities. For example, using the bus to get to school, riding a bike to the park, or carpooling with friends to a practice or game are all ways that we can help reduce pollution.
