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.
