Do not drop garbage on the ground! That is called litter. Litter hurts the animals. They could eat it and get sick. They could get trapped in it. It also hurts the environment. Trash makes beautiful places look bad. If you have garbage when you are outdoors, wait and put it in a trash can. If you see any litter, you should pick it up and throw it in the trash can.
My brother Max and I became Litter Getters when we were camping in Richardson's Grove State Park in California. It felt good to leave the camp clean and better than we found it. We can all be Litter Getters, on vacations and at home.
Rules for being a Litter Getter:
Don't litter.
Encourage your friends to not litter.
Pick up litter when you see it.
Be safe when you are picking up trash. Wear gloves and have an adult pick up dangerous things like glass, cigarette butts, or anything you are not sure of.
