Today our school had their annual garbage pick up day for Earth week. Our class went outside to clean up around the school. There wasn't a lot of garbage to pick up other than all those cigarettes on the floor. Some people in our class worked really well. Others in our class (including me) didn't work so well.
The main reason why I didn't contribute as much was mainly because I hate cigarettes. Because most of the garbage on the ground were cigarettes, I didn't feel comfortable picking them up.
Our teacher was really disappointed that we couldn't even handle a task that small. He had to constantly tell us to continue cleaning like we were in Grade 3. I think it made him really annoyed in my opinion.
Honestly, I was more disappointed in myself. I could've just picked it up, since I was wearing gloves anyway, and then just wash my hands really well. I didn't even do that. Instead I just stood around and chatted. I did pick up some garbage but not enough to say to myself, "Wow. I did a great job today."
Well that's how our cleaning day went. Hopefully next time we can do a much better job.
