Anderson's Many Problems In Our Town

Anderson has many problems. From the people to the ground we walk on, there’s something wrong with our town. It’s the litter we leave around. This can and will become very dangerous to us and the animals living here. From trash to even worse, drug needles. People just leave them lying around or thrown on the ground.

The town’s citizens could learn more about reducing, reusing, and recycling. If we all work together we could make Anderson
