My name is Dee West. I am a director of the Environmental Services for the clean and beautiful programme in Alpharetta, Georgia. I have been the director of Environmental Services since 1989.
My responsibility is to educate the people about environmental issues. We also have schools called the Green Schools. These schools were created in 1991. Over 23,000 children attend the Green Schools. These children learn how to protect the environment, clean lakes and rivers and how to test the quality of water. The children now know that they should not litter. That means they should not throw their trash in the streets or parks. They also learn that a lot of their trash can be recycled. Things such as tins, steel and aluminium cans, glass, some plastics, newspapers, and magazines can be made into new products. Office paper, tires, and telephone books can be also recycled.
It is really important for saving our trees from cutting. You can start protecting trees by recycling paper products in your country, too.
