Today I would like to describe a time when I saw a lot of plastic waste in my neighborhood park. It actually happened a few years ago when some of my closest friends and I went there to have a picnic. At first, I was quite disappointed by the huge amount of plastic waste; for example, food packages, plastic bottles, and food wrappers were scattered all over the walking path and near the benches. The park was usually quite clean, but I think it was a holiday, and many people went there to spend some time. That's why, during that time, the park was so dusty and waste was all over the place. My friends and I started a small cleanup, and later we informed the park authority about the situation. I also noticed that some visitors threw trash here and there. Despite some efforts, there was still a lot of trash in that park. Additionally, the cleaning staff had not collected the garbage yet. This situation made me feel quite upset, and I realized how carelessly people treated the environment. It also made me aware of how serious the plastic pollution problem has become, and I strongly believe that everyone should keep our surroundings clean.
