Pick Up Rubbish
Pick Up Rubbish
Picpapib!
Rubbish, litter, waste—whatever you call it, it looks horrible. It’s
disgusting when rubbish is just discarded on the floor. It’s not nice
stepping over it, in it or trying to walk through it on the streets.
Rubbish spoils the countryside and playgrounds, too.
Don’t just dump your rubbish
or throw your litter on the
ground; discard of it
responsibly. Take it home
with you, put it in your
bag/pocket or find a bin to
place it in—it’s so easy!
Empty packets, used drink
bottles, wrappers, disposable
coffee cups and plastic bags
are some of the items that are
littered so carelessly.
Rubbish not only looks
horrendous, it can be extremely
harmful to the environment as
it destroys and contaminates
animal habitats. It can also kill
wildlife as animals can get
stuck or tangled in litter
causing injuries and illness, too.
An alternative to throwing your rubbish in the bin is to recycle or reuse it.
It’s even better for the planet if you can recycle or reuse your rubbish. Can
that bottle be rinsed and reused tomorrow? What can that empty packet
be transformed into? Could you carry something else in that bag later?
PLEASE PICK UP YOUR RUBBISH RATHER THAN
LEAVE IT BEHIND TO SPOIL THE ENVIRONMENT.
