#CLEANUPTIME

#CleanUpTime

Last summer, while I was walking down the beach, my parents and I saw something weird. We didn't know what it was, so we went there to find out by ourselves.
The sea was very crowded, with lots of people who were holding white and green bags.
I asked a girl what was happening, and she told me that this was a traditional activity there.
They were cleaning up the beach and throwing the rubbish into the bags! While they were doing that, other people were asking tourists to join them and help them to get the world cleaner.
There were people from all over the world, it was amazing how people could do such a great job working together!
I think it's of the best experiences I've ever had.

Recycling in United States


In 2007, United States banned plastic bags in shops and supermarkets. Then, they ordered people to separate the rubbish in differents bins. There's a programme called "Pay for what you throw", the rubbish is weighted and you must pay for that, it depends on the rate (The rubbish that is at home and isn't in a recycable bin) They transform food waste into electric power, too.

THE CARROTS

CARROTS
The carrot is a healthy vegetable, but many years ago people didn't think that.
The carrots come from Asia, specifically from Arabia, and from Europe (Greece and Rome)
Ancient romans and ancient greeks ate them,arqueologist found years ago some pictures of the ancient greeks with carrots in it too, but they didn't think they were healthy, therefore they didn't spread out this food, until their point of view change.
Nowadays, we know it's healthy and good for our sight.
