I can’t remember the date when I started collecting litter. But it was when I got tired of seeing litter near my home and realized that nobody else was going to pick it up.
I live close to a forest in Ohio, America. I can walk there within three minutes! I used to love going there to play with my dog. But one day there was so much litter there that I became very unhappy. I decided to clean up the forest.
I made my first trip to clean the forest one afternoon. I took a big black rubbish bag with me. Ten minutes later, my bag was full of cans, bottles, broken glass and newspapers.
Since that first trip three years ago, I’ve been to the forest four times a year to pick up litter. I’m often there for three hours. It makes me feel great to do something for the environment.
After each trip, I look at all the litter I’ve found. If any of it is recyclable(可回收的),I’ll keep it. I can’t understand why people drop litter. But I will keep picking it up until they stop dropping it.
I know I can only do a small bit to help the earth, but I still think it is important.

      "What's the matter, Bob?" asked his mother. "Why do you look so sad?"
"I don't have anyone to play with," said Bob. "I wish we had stayed in Salt
Lake City. I had friends there."
      "You will soon make friends here,"  said his mother." Wait and see!"
       Just then there was a tap on the door. Mrs Miller opened it.
       There stood a woman with red hair. " Hello," she said. "I'm Mrs Carey.
I live next door."
       " Come in," said Mrs Miller. " Bob and I are so glad you come."
       "I come to ask for two eggs," said Mrs Carey. "I want to bake a cake."
       "You may have the eggs," said Mrs Miller. " But do sit down. Let's have
coffee and talk a little."
       That aftermoon there was another tap on the door. Mrs Miller opened it.
There stood a boy with red hair. "My name is Tom Carey," he said.
       "My mother sends you this cake and these two eggs."
       "Oh, thank you, Tom," said Mrs Miller. " Come in and meet my son Bob."
       Tom and Bob were about the same age. Soon they were having cake and milk.
"Can you stay and play with me?" asked Bob. "Yes, I can stay an hour,"  said Tom.
"Then let's play a ball,"  said Bob. " My dog will want to get in the game,  too."Tom
found it was fun to play with Trix. He had no dog of his own.
      "I'm glad you live next door," said Bob." Now I have someone to play with." 
      "Mother said we would soon be good friends," answered Tom. "I'm glad
your mother needed two eggs." said Bob.
      Tom laughed, " She didn't really need the eggs," he said. "She just wanted to make
friends with your mother!" Then Bob laughed, too." That's a funny way to make friends,"
he said. " But it's a nice way. It worked!"
