Project Based Learning

This week in school we are doing this thing called PBL (Project Based Learning). I'm in a group with two other people and our group name is H.H.S (Helping Hands Society). To help the community our topic is fixing the big litter problem.We have chosen litter because it is a big problem in a lot of communities, and we think that we could help out and make our community look nicer and it would have a healthy environment. If we keep helping the community by putting our rubbish in bins it would become Eco-friendly.

To help my research I have used this website

What is the issue?

Litter is an important environmental issue.  It is amazing that 94% of people identify litter as a major environmental problem and yet people still litter.  Carelessly discarded garbage affects every member of society: it causes harm to people and animals, damages our waterways, cost us money and suggests that we do not care for our environment.  Fortunately, we can all do something to help prevent and reduce litter.
