Nobody likes a litterbug

Walking to The Limes After School Program every day, I always notice an abundance of trash in the drains and all over the field. And to be honest, I wondered if they kids ever noticed as well or if maybe it never bothered them. So today in class we talked about the environment, littering, and recycling. I thought when it came time for action, I would have to bribe them to pick up garbage, but they were so enthusiastic that I ran out of rubber gloves within seconds. The kids raced around the neighborhood to see who could fill up the most garbage bags first and had collected 15 bags within 15 minutes! It warmed my heart, and not to mention, set a great example for all the neighbors watching. :)
