A Our town is next to the sea and rubbish on the beach has become a problem. We want to protect it for future generations. We have decided to take action.
B This year our school has formed rubbish collection teams. Every day after school, we have collected rubbish from the beach. We have also asked the town for more recycling bins and they have promised to put some near the beach. People have recycled all their plastic, glass and aluminium containers.
C Finally, my school is going to have a party to collect money for more recycling bins for the school.
