Here is how the project went:
Students in different locations were surprised by the amount of litter they found. Many expressed concern about why people throw pet waste bags into bushes in parks or even in neighborhoods. Through this experience, they are learning that, as a community, we all share the responsibility to educate others about the impact of littering.
Through this project I/we learned:
We learned that there is still so much to do to protect the environment, starting within our own communities.
What I/we might change:
When we carry out this project again, we will place signs in communities and parks to remind people to dispose of pet waste bags in proper containers or take them home to throw away. We will also encourage everyone not to litter in streets and neighborhoods.
My/our favorite part of this project was:
Helping to Clean Up Our Communities and Parks.
