Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to 29 . I couldn’t believe the 30 we made—the park looked clean! Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people 31 42,330 pounds of trash. I often hear people 32 about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 33 rather than complaining. We need to teach by 34 . You can’t blame others 35 you start with yourself.
