Litterbugs

``The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.``
Albert Einstein


Even Albert Einstein says the world is becoming a junk yard for human liter. Now I am not saying that everybody does it but most people do. For example someone will eat a pack of crackers and toss it on the sidewalk even though the trash is three feet away. They will just think it will be blown away by the wind ( and by the way its not that hard to walk three feet, so STOP being lazy). But where do you think it goes after it is blown away, not out of this world. That piece of trash can land anywhere. By the way littering can hurt wildlife.



So I asked my mom if we could walk around the neighborhood and pick up at least 20 pieces of trash on Saturday. So after coming home from church on Saturday, my mom, my brother and I were off to our mission. We found candy wrappers, straws, plastic cup (only 3) and some coke cans. I total we found 22 pieces of trash its still too much for a small area. So a helpful advice to keeping you community clean is well by recycling and if you see a piece of trash flying around pick it up an throw it away. It will not do you harm but help make this world a better place.

How to be nice.

I think people these days are becoming really mean. In the world there is a handful of really nice people. But I think at school you can tell the difference between nice and mean. I've met some really amazingly nice people at our school. And a lot of the times 8th graders can be really mean to 7th graders at our school. Just the other day I saw a 7th grader being pushed down the stairs by a 8th grader. It just broke my heart to see a young boy with his stuff rolling down the stairs being trampled by older people. So when I passed by him i helped him pick his stuff and asked him if he was OK. Luckily he was. But as I was saying people are not very nice anymore. But I just really felt bad for the little boy being pushed. And I felt good helping him up.
