Something Should Be Done About Trash On Campus

When I sent out a survey, I asked, “What do you notice about the trash on our campus?”, I got some answers that said, “It makes room 21 look bad, I rarely see people pick up trash” and “I see trash over the railing from old school projects and papers blowing around.” I see and agree with these responses.I think that when people see trash they should pick it up. Even one piece of trash can lead to a disaster. Something should be done about the trash around campus because the trash can hurt animals, can cause fires, and can cause unhealthy environment. I think something should be done about the trash on campus.

My first reason for thinking something should be done about the trash on campus is because the trash can hurt animals. I learned on
Southern California sometimes has hot weather, and there is some trash on campus, which can cause fires in certain conditions. According to nfpa.org, estimates of fires reported to U.S. municipal fire departments are based on data from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and the NFPA annual survey. “Smoking materials” are lighted tobacco products but do not include lighting implements such as matches and lighters. Smoking materials are identified under heat sources, and estimates include a proportional share of fires coded as heat source unknown or as unknown between smoking material and open flame source. I think that this means people who put flammable items in the wrong place might get injured, so I think some people should care more about where they put things. I also learned on snopes.com, that two incidents involving damage to homes due to suspected 9-volt battery fires have been widely reported. In the segment displayed above, a Colorado family's house was said to have caught fire due to 9-volt batteries that jostled inside a paper bag intended to be disposed in the trash. The homeowner, Dave Miller, first shared his tale with Kansas City station KCTV in January 2014 (although the date of the fire was not provided). I think this means that people should care more about where they put things, and the surroundings of where they put the
Even one piece of trash can lead to a disaster. For example, a messed up food chain, a fire, or health problems for living things. Something should be done about trash around campus because trash can hurt animals, can cause fires, and can cause unhealthy environment.

I think something should be done about trash on campus. I think something should be done, because our school doesn’t deserve the trash on campus.

While researching and surveying, I learned some ways that we can prevent and manage the amount of trash on campus. Some of the ways to manage trash are: the people on trash or lunch duty should do it a few times a week, a trash race to see who or what group can pick up the most, while students are waiting for teachers, they can pick up trash, and I even got one response saying humans or robots should do it, after all, it is the 21st
