Hello my name is Esmeralda Navarro. I attend at CSULA and I am one of Professor Hicks student. I have had professor Hicks for 3 quarters already and we are focusing on the environment. My assignement was to go to one service learning and i decided to go Steelhead Park to pick up trash.

When i arrived at Steelhead Park right away we started picking up trash. There had been a lot of plastic bags. I decided to go below the bridge to pick up trash. There was plastic bags stuck to the trees and it was hard to unstuck them. everyone was colaborating and had picked about 10 plastic bags full of trash it was amazing how people can make a change if they decide to do it. Ifelt so good to be part of the service learning because i helped cleaned part of the environment. Trash is was affects the environment because there is trash all over and we dont give ourselves time to pick it up.

It was a nice experience seeing all these people helping the environment. Everyone should encourage others to clean up the environment because it needs our help. We should maintain a safe environment so it can last longer. There are many ways to keep the environment clean and this is one of the ways to help it. This is our and we are its hope for saving the environment befor it is too late. So lets have a CLEAN EARTH.
