Wherever you look, you see newspapers, can, plastic botles and even rotting food. This garbage make the neighborhood look terrible Garbage also makes the neighborhood unsafe. Garbage brings rat and other animals. This animals carries disease. Sometimes people get sick because of these animals, very danger for children and old people. are several things that we can do to help ourselves. First of all, nieghborhood organizations can start projects to help clean up the neighborhood. School, churches, sports teams and clubs can all help. Perhaps each organization can cleans up one or two blocks. And, we can ask the city government to put a garbage cans on every corner. we can also ask them to pick up the garbige cans every week. Finally, we can all stop throwing papers, cans and other litter on the street. If use the garbage cans, we won't have this problem in the future.
