A 500-word essay on picking up trash and selling it for money

In the morning, the teacher said that he would go to the municipal square to pick up garbage in the afternoon. Everyone jumped up with joy.

In the afternoon, we came to school early. After the first class, we talked and laughed all the way and in a blink of an eye we were on the road to the Municipal Square. We boys were responsible for the grass on the left side of the slow lane of the street, and the girls were responsible for the flower pond on the right. At the beginning, I opened the plastic bag, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up cigarette butts in the grass, one by one. The cigarette butts became our trophies. Just show off to others.

I was holding a big cigarette butt and when I put it in the bag, Fan Xiaoyang got there first and put his chopsticks on my chopsticks. The cigarette butt actually fell off. The two of us were snatching it back and forth, as if we were robbing a treasure. Yes, the cigarette butt was sacrificed. We are fighting for a cigarette butt, is it worth it?

I was looking for the target. Li Haohua stepped on a piece of grass and said, "I own this land!" Not to be outdone, I stepped on an empty piece of grass and said, "I own this land!" After going all over the place, I couldn't find a single cigarette butt.

At the end, everyone has their own great achievements, and I also have my own merits. Although I was exhausted after the "25,000-mile Long March", my heart felt sweeter than eating honey.

It’s a small effort, everyone has a responsibility. Everyone raises their hands and throws cigarette butts into the trash can. If there are so many people in China, if everyone makes a small action, Zhongwei’s environmental protection will be better.

On Sunday, my brother and I went to a park to pick up garbage.

When we got there, we saw that the ground outside the flowers, plants and trees was full of cigarette butts, waste paper and other garbage. I hesitated and said, "Let's go pick up some garbage. Let's treat it as a good deed." My younger brother denied it and said, "It's not ours anyway. The garbage is ugly and dirty and we are too lazy to pick it up." I said, "Then we will just pick it up." Just dry garbage." My brother said, "I won't pick it up if you want." I went to pick it up without saying a word, but the shameless brother laughed behind me. People passing by saw me picking up rubbish and gave me a helping hand to pick up rubbish together. However, some people not only acted as bystanders, but also caused trouble for us by throwing the rubbish in their hands on the ground and leaving. The people present were extremely angry when they saw it. An old man said: "Today's young people are so unethical." Some middle-aged people said: "These are stupid people! They didn't see us working so hard to pick up things." It's rubbish! You just don't pick it up, but you still want to cause trouble. It's so shameless." Although some people didn't say a word, they were just as angry as us and looked at them with contempt, knowing that they disappeared in the park. . But we just took a look and started working hard again.

Later, my younger brother also came to pick it up. I said, "Do you also want to get some credit?" He smiled stupidly for a while.

Until about five o'clock, the garbage in the park was still not finished, but when the time came, people left one after another, and the praises made our hearts warm and sweet.

I really don’t know if I don’t pick it up. I was shocked when I picked it up. There was so much garbage in a small park. It was really scary. Everyone is so busy picking up garbage and putting it in the trash can, so that our lives can be more hygienic and beautiful.
