text: The second thing why I think community service is a great thing is it's great for the environment. If you just throw your trash everywhere, it builds up higher and higher over time and now you have a dirty community and nobody wants that. And plus, littering is illegal and you can get a high- priced fine for doing it, so it's better to pick up the trash, rather than cause it. You can join your local YMCA or other clubs and go around and pick up a few pieces of trash because if 10 people each pick up 5 pieces of trash, that's already 50 pieces of trash! If you go out and do it even just once a week, you will have a better and a cleaner community in no time, and a cleaner community is always better for everyone.
