Question

 I can’t remember when I started collecting litter. But it was when I got tired of 1       litter nearby and realized that nobody else was going to pick it up.

I live near a forest in Ohio,America. I can walk there 2       three minutes. I used to love going there to play with my dog. But one day there was 3       much litter that I became very unhappy. I decided I had to clean up the forest,and I wanted to 4       happy going there again. I made my first trip to clean the forest that afternoon. I took a big black rubbish bag with me. Ten minutes 5       starting to pick up litter,my bag was full!There were cans,bottles,broken glasses and newspapers in it.

  From then on,I 6       to the forest four times a year to pick up litter. I’m often there for three hours. It makes me feel 7       to do something for the environment. After each trip,I look at all the litter that I’ve found. If 8       of it is recyclable,I will keep it. I can’t understand why people drop litter. But I will keep picking it up 9       they stop dropping it. I know I’m only doing a small bit 10       the earth,but I still think it’s important.
