Sample writing
Litter is a big issue in our local community, we must deal with it because it is bad for local wildlife and it makes our community look terrible.
This mostly occurs in our local park. It is caused by people dropping food Rapids from the nearby fast food restaurant.
We make sure the park is cleaned every day. We have added more rubbish bins in the park to make it easier for people to dispose of this waste. We also spoke to the fast food restaurant and ask them to encourage people to dispose of the waste properly.
The issue has been dealt with well, but more work is needed. It is hard to deal with these issues because people will always need to buy food in the future. The best solution would be to find alternative ways of packaging.
