Picking up DISGUSTING garbage.

Today my dad, my sister and I all went to the Bargetto Bridge. We went down the path to the creek but we saw some people hanging out under the bridge and we didn`t feel like dealing with them. So we went to our normal spot (Soquel creek by my school) and thank goodness we did! We found lots and lots of garbage such as cans, bottles, pieces of glass and much, much more.

Picking up garbage in Hawaii.

Last week my family and I went on vacation to Hawaii and we went to a park to pick up garbage.The day before my dad and I saw a man drive to the end of the road,throw a piece of garbage out of his window,turn around and drive away..... I felt so angry at that man! Who would throw a cheetos chip bag out of a car window in such a beautiful paradise?!
