On Friday the 11th of September our class 10R had walked through Kawakawa and picked up rubbish through a path. We had started by walking through the park through commercial street and picked up rubbish along the way, the landscape of the hill was absolutely covered in rubbish, especially alcohol bottles that were in the process of degradation hiding in the bushes.
There was so much litter scattered across the roads that I believe strongly that littering is the main problem in our environment, it does horrible things to us such as contaminating once pristine clear water, now turned into nothing but a slop of grey, polluting the area and can danger our own wildlife.
However, we can do so much to restore and protect the environment and we could start by just not littering and putting our rubbish in the bin. Ways we could definitely help with the restoration of our environment, is by minimising our waste, such as buying reusable and biodegradable bags and cups, making sure our rubbish enters the correct bin, making sure the compostable items can go towards the growing our plants and more, so much stuff could be done to do with the purification of our planet and recreating organic horticulture.
I think it would be great to educate children about the importance of our environment, we could even teach them the basics by doing what we did and walk around town, picking up as much rubbish as possible and showing them how our future could be in jeopardy, and could be taught by people who already care much for the environment such as your dad or the caretaker of your school.
