It had cans, bottles, broken glass and newspapers in it.Since that first trip three years ago, I've gone to the forest four times a year to pick up litter.I'm often there for three hours, It makes me feel great to do something for the environment.
After each trip, I look at all the litter I've found.If any of it is recyclable(可回收的) I keep. I can't understand why people drop litter.But I will keep picking it up until they stop dropping it.
