 Snapdragon’s Girls Club adopted a section of a highway to regularly clean up litter.
You can help Snapdragon keep our planet clean by picking up litter too. Check with your local kids’ organizations (such as Girl Scouts) to see if they have cleanup projects you can help with. Ask your teachers if you can create a cleaning team to help keep your school’s playgrounds free from litter. If you belong to a church, synagogue, mosque, or any other type of organization, see if there are others who would like to help you round up litter from playgrounds, the shores of ponds and lakes, forest preserves, and anywhere else you can think of. The more people who get involved, the easier (and more fun) it will be. Even if you cannot form a group to help pick up litter, keep an eye out for it in your own yard or
wherever you are. If you notice an empty can on the ground, recycle it. If someone has left a newspaper on a park bench, recycle it.
Of course, you should always practice safety when picking up things from the ground. Watch out for broken glass or sharp objects. When in doubt, ask a grown-up first!
