Our Eco-team collaborated with Year 6 and Afifah Islamic School to organise a litter pick in our local area. We collected litter on the path and areas between our schools. We want everyone to respect our community and if it is clean, people may decide to put their litter in the bin. If it is already littered, people might think it is acceptable to add their rubbish to it. We say NO! to littering our streets.
