Keeping our earth clean is the responsibility of every individual. Each of us must be aware of our own behavior and how it affects the environment. We also must develop a sense of caring and ownership for the world in which we live – its air, water, land and all its inhabitants.

 

Even children, who often feel that what they do has little or no affect, can have a positive influence on the environment by helping to reduce the amount of litter and pollution. Litter is anything (wrappers, packaging, paper, bottles, cans, etc.) that is left on the ground or left where it does not belong. Litter does not look nice and it can harm plants and animals living in nature.
