On the windy Saturday, we went to a special activity in Geneva Town– Nettoyage annuel de lac, which is a event open to the public and you can help to clean the garbage near or in the lake. The area we were in charge of was part of the beach next to Jet d’eau. At first no rubbish was seen on the surface and we thought the whole activity is easy until many rubbish were found under the rocks and tangled plants. Plastics bottle, aluminum cans, plastic packages were picked out by us, and there have started to have more and more rubbish in the bin bag. After we finished, I felt accomplished but also concerned by the amount of rubbish we found just in a small area. From this activity, I realized how much we should keep improving in recycling in order to protect our own planet.
