Dear Ben,

     Earth Day is coming in a week． Are you doing anything for Earth Day this year? I think it's a realty good idea．It shows people how they can help the environment．Last year you planted some trees near Oxford, didn't you?

     This year we are all going to the Sepulveda Dam Recreation Area to do pickup． That means collecting all the rubbish that people drop, like coke cans and sweet wrappers and other things like that．We start at 8 am and then pick up litter until about 1 pm．Then we have a huge picnic．It'll be great．We all take food and there are places to cook burgers and hot dogs and other things．

There will be lots of stalls selling organic, healthy food in the open air, too! Then we'll do pickup again until about 3 pm．We' II have to be very careful to tidy up well after the picnic!

There are lots of events around Los Angeles．My friend Jake is going to do pickup on a big beach near his home with the neighbours．My friend Beth is going on the big march in Los Angeles．I' d rather do something that makes an actual difference that you can see．Well, as we are getting rid of the rubbish, I suppose I should say a difference you can' t see!
