I can't remember when I started collecting litter. But it was when I (get) tired of seeing litter nearby and realized that no one else was going to pick it up.
I live near a forest Ohio, America. I can walk there in three minutes. I used to love going there to play with my dog. But one day there was much litter that I became very unhappy. I (decide) I had to clean up the forest. I wanted to be happy going there again.
I made my (one) trip to clean the forest that afternoon. I took a big black rubbish bag with me. Ten minutes starting to pick up litter, my bag was full! It had cans, bottles, (break) glass and newspapers in it.
From then on, I went to the forest four (time) 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 that I've found. it is recyclable, I will keep it. I can't understand why people drop litter. But I will keep picking it up until they stop (drop) it. I know I am only doing a small bit to help the Earth, but I still think it is important.
