📝 Sample Answer

DON'T BE A LITTER BUG! OUR SCHOOL, OUR PLANET, OUR RESPONSIBILITY!

Look around! Is our beautiful school becoming a giant rubbish bin? Litter isn't just ugly; it's harmful!

Why should we care?

  • For Our School: Dropped crisp packets, sweet wrappers, and plastic bottles make our playgrounds look messy and unwelcoming. It makes our school feel unloved!
  • For Our Planet: That plastic bottle you drop could end up in rivers or oceans, hurting innocent animals like birds and fish. It takes hundreds of years to break down!

STOP THE MESS! Let's all do our part. Put your rubbish IN THE BIN! Keep our school clean, keep our planet green! BE A TIDY HERO – NOT A LITTER ZERO!
