Garbage We went outside to pick up the trash around the school. There was so much trash it was unbelievable. We almost had 8 full trash bags full (walmart size). Most of the trash looked like it ad been there for moths or even years. This should not be happening, because we have trash cans everywhere around the school. Thousands of animals die each year due to plastic and trash in general, which is really sad. I saw a video a few days ago where a sea turtle had a big plastic straw stuck in its nose, the turtle was bleeding and could barley breathe, the good thing is that they were able to save the turtle without permanent harm and the sad thing is that, that situation could have easily been avoided by just recycling the straw.

Forest bathing Forest bathing is a popular way of benefiting your health by going outside and just enjoy nature. It is proven that it actually benefits your health. In Japan it is also known as shinrin-yoku. It has helped many people in Japan and is now on the up rise in America. When we went out side to forest bath, some people were talking or even throwing things. While forest bathing you have to be quite and appreciate nature. It sounds weird in your head but when you actually try it, it is nit even that bad. If people that only sit inside and don't do anything all day can do it you can too, just go out there and try it.
