Hello,
my name is Sierra Sharpe; I am in Professor Jenny Hicks English 101 class. For
the environmental activity I was not able to attend neither the
Dockweiler Beach cleanup nor the LA River. However I was able to go help out
with a go green activity at Memorial Heights elementary where my aunt works.
They needed extra help with watching over the kids, so I volunteered to help.
We
went around to a park near the elementary school, broke into groups, and began
to clean the park. This had not been my first time participating in this kind
of activity, but this time around it was a different learning experience
especially dealing with the younger kids. It was fun, and also cool to see how
interested the kids actually were to be cleaning the park. We not only cleaned
the park, but we also collected anything we saw that could be recycled. As I think back on the experience, these kids
were in second and third grade and although they don’t know and understand the
importance of going green just yet; it was great to expose them of such a positive
activity at a young age.
People
should definitely realize how important recycling and cleaning not only parks,
but you’re neighborhoods as well as the beach is. Every little bit counts, and
if everyone one takes a little bit of time to go green, and get others as well
as kids to understand the importance, the world won’t change right away; but as
time goes on we’ll be able to see a difference.
