As is known, Colombia had some forest fires that got our attention for some days. However, although it seems as if we can’t do anything, actually that’s not true. Because students are the citizens of the future, and some of them, even though they’re not going to stay in school forever, do need to protect the planet.

A big problem is what we do with trash, especially when we finish eating food. If we do not put trash in the correct place, it would affect the environment. Additionally, it shows a poor image of the students.

Then, what can we do? This is not something difficult to understand. Every person in the community can do their part by: paying attention to the space we’re using at school, trying to clean up or informing an authority if something is wrong, and taking care of the environment. If we do not start with these small actions, then it will become harder to protect our country, and actually the entire world.
