Towards the end of the day , they spot Yousuf collecting the garbage and cleaning up. Foua That’s a lot Fay: ?Hi, can we help you

You suf: ad: Of course! ​The more the merrier. t of tra sh!

​ Some people litter the sea. ​ Something they can’t directly see. ​ ​ They leave trash on sand.​ But that doesn’t stway ohn laendr. e does th

he tra sh go...?

When the wind blows and the tide grows, ​ to the sea, every piece of rubbish goes. ​ A balloon, some glass, stubs, and a can. ​ But let me tell you about beach cleaning; why I began

I was once on boat with my sister and a friend.​ We saw a little dolphin with a string tied to its end.

hoot hoot And a seagull fishing merrily with a hoot;​ it spotted what it thought was a piece of food. ​

It dove down fast to catch the fish. But what she saw wa s actually ju st rubbi sh. ​

Sea turtles think pla stic bags are yummy jelly f i sh.​ But in reality, they’re far from their favorite dish.​ ​ They swallow them hungrily, so quick, ​ Then the plastic bags make them fall very sick.



I love animals and like to see them free.​

I know you love them too and for sure would agree!. ​ ​ Playful dolphins. Amazing whales. ​ Cute little turtles. And fishes with colorful scales.

So I clean the beach ​and try to teach, ​little kids like you what you can do. Pla stic i s one of the worst tra sh types; ​ especially bags, nets, straws and pipes. ​ ​ You can always avoid single use. ​ It is one of the best tactics to reduce. ​ ​ ​

If you have to u se pla stic, make sure to recycle. ​ Breaking down pla stic i s such a long cycle.

So kids, start taking steps even if small. ​ ​ Don’t leave any trash behind; ​ it’s important to be kind;​ not only to people but also to our planet. ​ Pick up what you can and make it a habit. The planet will appreciate it all. ​
