How do you deal with your rubbish when you are outside? Do you sort（分类）rubbish before throwing it away?
When my children were younger, we used to walk a gravelled trail（碎石小道）around the lake near our home.
① One spring day my daughter and I noticed just how much rubbish was lying along the trail. So the next day we brought a big rubbish bag with us and started to pick up the rubbish along our way slowly, step by step. ② There were pop cans（易拉罐）, wrappers for candy bars, plastic water bottles, empty chip bags, pieces of broken fishing line and even a worn - out shoe. We stopped and picked up each one and even fished a few pieces of rubbish out of the edge（边）of the water. By the time we had circled the lake, the bag was nearly full.
③ We stopped before we headed home and took one last look at the lake as the sun set. It looked more beautiful than ever.
I know that at times this world's problems can seem overwhelming and you wonder what you can do to make a difference. But the truth is that everything you do makes a difference! Every time you stop to pick up a single piece of rubbish, you make a difference in the world. Every smile you share makes a difference. Every kind word you say makes a difference. Every hug you share, every flower you plant, every animal you save... Everything you do, no matter how small, makes a difference in this world. ④
Therefore, make your difference today by doing things like picking up a piece of rubbish.
