Earth Day.

Earth Day.

After reading this article on Earth Day, there was alot of information about making it a business and making money for Earth Day. I can remember when I was in grade school, and the whole school would go around the school grounds and pick up any garbage, rake leaves, and pick up sticks to make the school grounds look nice. It would be a whole day event kind of thing and everyone would have fun doing it. We then would have drinks and snacks and play a bunch of games with all our friends.

When I got to high school, we still would do stuff for Earth Day. The whole high school would get divided into groups and be assigned to a certain part of the whole town of Hustisford. Each group would have gloves and bags to pick up any of the garbage. We would walk from the high school into town, picking up any garbage along the way. We all still had fun even though we were picking up garbage. Because 1) We were with our friends. 2) We got out of class for it. and 3)We knew we were doing a good thing for not only the community but for the cleanliness of the Earth.

I think every school should do something like this for Earth day, because even picking up that can on the side of the road makes the world look like a much prettier place rather than having that piece of alumminum on gravel.
