Philly Clean Up!

Yesterday as we walked around the neighborhood picking up litter, how did you feel about your actions? Why did you feel this way? How did this make you think about our neighborhood? Will this affect any of your future actions concerning your neighborhood?

Write a detailed response to these questions in three paragraphs.

    When I went around the neighborhood cleaning up the block I felt really good about my actions. I am not the type of girl that likes picking up random people’s trash so when I was picking up the trash I felt like I was really helping the community. Also when I was picking up this trash I was thinking that the community around us was really in danger because it not right. I think that me doing these things will affect other people to do stuff and help the community. Thank You.

    I felt very good about my actions. I felt that way because, it was good to know that I was helping the earth, even if I was scared of what might pop out at me and what I might catch from touching filthy things. It made me think that our neighborhood is as filthy as anything and if people don’t try doing anything then our planet will soon be nothing than a big garbage dump. Yes, it certainly will effect my future actions concerning my neighborhood. It will because, in the future I will try to make it an effort to go around and just clean up a little where ever I see trash. Well that is what I felt and am going to do after we the class went around and cleaned up the neighborhood.

  3. i felt good about me picking up litter around my school community. also when people told us we were doing good and this is good for the environment i felt even better about myself. i felt this way because this isn't even my neighborhood.

    This made me feel even more intelligence because i don't usually go and clean up only if my mom make a block clean up. i will go out and clean up with her and people that live on the block.

    i don't think this is going to have any affect because its not like we cleaned the whole world we only did part of out school neighborhood.

  4. When we went around the neighborhood picking up litter. When we were picking up the trash and this is how I felt about my actions I felt that I was making a little change by picking up trash I felt that way because I think making a change is helping the Environment and I was help the Environment. The thing that is make me think about our neighborhood is that it's a very beautiful neighborhood and if people keep littering it would be a very ugly neighborhood. I think tat because if people keep littering soon it would become and trash place. And I do think it would affect any of your future actions concerning your neighborhood. That is how I felt about my action why I felt that way? How did this make me think about our neighborhood? Will this affect any of our future actions concerning your neighborhood?.

  5. Two days ago when we picked up litter i felt that my actions were good. i think this because it was a good thing to walk around and pick up all the trash that should not be there. I felt this way because it will change the envierment.

    This made me think that our nighborhood is full of trash because some people do not care. Yes it will cause me to tell my friends to stop putting trash on the floor and it will help me not to do it myself.

    But i think that most people did not care. I saw alot of people drive by and did not even look at us or evan say thank you except this one old lady. That is my journal:)

  7. When I cleaned up the whole neighborhood with my classmates, I felted great and sort of competitive about it with Gordon. I felted happy because I knew I was helping clean the environment. But I felted competitive for another reason. That reason was that to me it felted like a competition to see who can clean up faster and who is stronger when carrying the bags.

    While I was cleaning up the neighborhood I thought that this neighborhood doesn’t even care about the environment. That they just think that it is a big trash can where you can throw all the trash you want. After that, the whole world would be awful and that it would make our lives turn into a different live like the movie walee.

    I think that in the future the neighborhood will affect the actions that I have done to clean the neighborhood. I think that, because when we went through the neighborhood, we found a lot of trash that we needed even more than just the amount of trash bags that we had. That is what I think about this Philly Clean Up Day.

  8. I feel as though i took actions for my responsibility to take care of the neighborhood and clean it up so it won't be all nasty and pasty. This made me think that if you put your mind to it you can do anything for your neighborhood. This will efect my future because I usually don't pick up trash, so I might grow up to be a really good person who cares about our envirement.

  9. I think that we did a good thing for the enviroment. Plus we got some nice comments too. Like thanks, and good job. That is how I feel.

    The reason I feel this way is because it is a good thing to do. And when you do that you feel good inside. You feel warm like the sun. That is why.

    This will affect the future. Make it even cleaner. The neighborhood will respect us. And care more about the enviroment.

  10. How did you feel about your actions? How I felt was like I’m helping the earth and making it a better place to live and I just think that is a right thing to do. It real’s good when you making the world a better place. Because you real something inside of you saying that you making the world stay health and making the work from stop coming to a end.

    Why did you feel this way? I felt that way because I’m making a change and most of the people in the work are not doing at and I’m the one that’s doing it.

    How did this make you think about our neighborhood? It made me feel that once you see things on the ground people are going harmed and that’s what people don’t know. If one person litter then it’s becomes a big problem because if one thing is on the ground then other people will do the same and that’s what’s happening all around the world.

    Will this affect any of your future actions concerning your neighborhood? I think it would because if people keep littering then a lot of animals will become extinct an when you think about it people can’t live without animals and then once you know it people will become extinct too!

    I felt good and proud because I knew just by picking trash up around school and the neighborhood I was making a difference. I felt this way because I knew that little bit of trash being picked I was saving the world. I was disappointed because some of the litter was faded. Which means it was on the ground for a long time. Yes I will try to see people who litter and warn them just by being lazy your killing yourself.

  12. Well me I felt very good about picking up trash and helping the environment and the sea creatures and now that I noticed that sea turtles get bags stuck in there mouth because they think the plastic bags are jelly fish.
    For example, it was very good helping pick up the trash for the sea turtles and the rest of the animals.
    Furth more, it was very fun doing it and the only part I hated was when I had to carry the sinking bag on my back.

  13. Yesterday as we walked around the neighborhood picking up trash, I start to feel good about our actions. I felt like we was making a change. But we shouldn't have to clean up after people. I felt this way because the 6th graders of gla was cleaning up around the neighborhood. We didnt want any animals to get harmed. I felt bad for the animals and couldnt wait to help clean up around the neighborhood. It made me think that this neighborhood is so dirty but people just dont care they mess up and mess up, but no one wants to clean up. they just go to work and come home. maybe if people wasnt so ignorant and selfish, then maybe just maybe our world would be clean. No, it wont affect any of my future actions with the neighborhood because my motto for that is if i want to clean up I will,I will clean up my block but that is it, I am not cleaning up behind adults. Thats a no no... I will help out sometime but not always.

  14. When we was picking up the litter from off the street I felt good at one point and then I just felt bad. When we was picking up the trash up at the other school I was mad that they didn't pick up there own stuff. I think they should of picked up are trash and then clean are school. Then I felt good again because one laddy seen us picking up her trash and she saide thank you. but some people seen us picking up there trash and didn't do nothing. My neighborhood is sometimes clean but not always. But some people come out and pick up there trash when t5hey want to.

    I feel that what we did was a good way to start an enviormental change. Also that it was a good way to show people that us kids can make a change to.I feel this way because people think just because were kids we cant change the world. But thats a lie because we can make a difference if we ever get a chance.This made me think that I should do this daily. I think that because once I start people will do the same thing. Thats what I think about the walk we took around the neighboor hood.

    As we cleaned up around the neighborhood I really think I felt good about my actions. I feel good about my actions because I was cleaning a neighborhood for a good cause. Even though we didn’t really have to do it we did it anyway.

    I think it made me feel really good because I did something that a lot of people would not do and for us to be the first class of sixth grade to clean up the neighborhood with out using gas but my leg.

    I think that it will affect it by me starting to clean up my neighborhood and it will be that way because of my friends and I. I feel that I can accomplish anything if I try and put my best foot forward.

    When we took a walk to go pick up the trash, I felt good about myself and everyone else because I know how some people are too good to pick up trash of the street but everyone did it and I guess they were happy that they were helping out people. Some people were telling people out on the street not to litter and to find the nearest trash can to throw the trash in. I felt good because it’s like I’m doing something good for the world so it wouldn’t be so trashy and trust me it’s a lot more trash out in this world because people just think its going out the window but no it looks nasty with all these dirty shirts and trash out. This made me really think how I see a lot of people littering and I just don’t say anything but I felt good when I was picking up there trash. It may have been some very nasty and dirty trash out there but I had gloves and I felt like a superhero speeding fast picking up stuff. It will affect in the future because I don’t want to be on a dirty nasty block and my block have a lot of block cleans and I will come outside and sweep up trash and pick it up . Since speaking of this my block is not dirty but it has trash on it at the end of the block it all this trash and it looks nasty but where I live we keep it clean and when it snows we make sure everything is nice and shoveled. Finally, these are my thoughts and what I would do in the future.


    Thanks’ Bye Bye !

  20. I believe that what we did a couple days ago was very nice and I think that we helped the world. I think that how much trash we got was un believe able, I say this because the bags we had ripped and it was just so much trash.

    My actions were shocked and astonished. I say this because every one is always saying clean the world and help the world but by the looks of it, it dose not look to me that any one is trying to clean this world so I am glad the we tried to help the world.

    All of the trash made me a little sad because just to think that the world was like this. If I could I would try to get the world to do what we did in there area at least every month to help and save this world.

    As I picked up the garbage on Monday this is what I felt. I felt good about my actions. I felt good about my actions because I felt that I was making a change in the community. This made me think about the community as being a better place in the future all because of me and my class mates. I don’t think that this will change my future actions because I am really not a big fan of cleaning up the trash.

    In my opinion I think that I would like to do it one more time. I also think that that we helped the community out a lot. We picked up news paper cigarettes foam and more. I enjoyed it!

    In conclusion that is what I felt about picking up the garbage.

    I think that we walked around the neighborhood I feel really happy and I feel really proud because I love helping people because I care about people even if I don’t know them. I feel like are neighborhood is like really clean.

    And when class is was clean some of us told some of the people that we saw we told them to just pay it forward. That’s why I really feel proud about what we did around the neighborhood. That’s my journal and why I feel this way and stuff like that.

    Also I think that we should do that every month so are community can always be clean. And also we can tell other schools to do that too. That’s my journal and that’s a little how I feel and that’s a little why I feel that why.
