Social Studies - Eco-Warriors Help out

Hi Everyone!

For this week's social studies blog post, I will be letting you guys know about what I did today. 

Mr. Cairn had decided to do something new and suggest we help out the Eco-Warriors. If you don't attend HHS you must not know what that is. The Eco-Warrior is a club based around the ecosystem. Their goal is to take care of our school by picking up trash in the meantime they stay on school grounds. Once they manage to sustain our school environment they are planning to expand their range. 

We were put into around 5 groups we all were given supplies containing a bucket and tongs to use. Unfortunately, we were missed out and didn't get tongs so we compromised and found gloves. We started to pick up trash and garbage around the auditorium there were loads of garbage around there. We mostly found them in the vine bushes under the trees, I honestly think the only explanation. For lots of garbage around there, is because it is the only old part of our school. The auditorium and those bushes were not taken down unlike all the other parts of the school. So that rubbish has been building up over the years and has just been hiding under the bushes. 

Stating my thoughts, I would say that it was unexpected and disappointing. When you take a glance at our school you think it's there's nothing wrong. But once you take a closer look you will find that there is an uncountable amount of rubbish. It is embarrassing and disappointing that I am saying this about my school. But unfortunately, it is just the truth so I am glad we have a club like Eco-Warrior trying to change that. 

I want people to know that they should help out the Eco-Warrior there's no harm in taking walk and picking up trash. It is not hard or challenging at all, over time when you're around friends it will be fun. We could make this a regular habit by just trying to take care of our own environment. One thing I know is that "What goes around, comes around".
