Lesson 62: Take Short Showers!My name's Georgia. Do you worry about pollution?I don't worry about it too much. I live in Edmonton.Edmonton's a city in Canada. It's a clean city.People don't throw their garbage on theground. The air and water are clean in Edmonton,too. Edmonton's clean,but I think we waste things. What do we waste the most? I think we waste paper the most. People waste water,too. I try not to waste water.I take short showers. I shower for five minutes.Not like my sister! She showers for thirty minutes! Do we recycle at home?Yes!We sort our pop cans and cardboard. A truck picks up the cans and cardboard every week. Then the cans and cardboard get made into new things. We reuse our plastic bags,too.We put other garbage in ourplastic bags. I think cars and big factories make the most pollution. There are too many cars. I think more people should ride bikes. I ride my bike to school.A bike doesn't make any pollution. It makes the least pollution of all types of transportation. Buses make some pollution,but lots of people can travel on abus. Buses make less pollution than cars.
