M: We’ve got a long journey ahead of us, so we’re leaving early. I suggested 7:00 or 7:30, but the group leader has said 5:30. The car we were planning to go in has developed engine problems, and it’s too late to buy train tickets, so we’re off in a minibus ---much more comfortable!

W: Hi, everyone. I’m going to talk to you today about a really interesting project I took part in this summer. It’s an event called One-Day Clean-up and its aim it to clear the world’s natural environments of rubbish. Everyone in my team was very friendly. Pretty much everyone on my team is planning to go to university next year or the year after. One or two people are hoping to study medicine but most of us actually want to do geography. Oh, and a couple are planning to do zoology.

You’d be amazed at how much rubbish there was. In just three hours we collected 179kilos. The team who collected the most rubbish collected 187 Kilos. The other teams collected a bit less each---but only 2 or 3 kilos less.

I must admit I thought it would be quite an unpleasant job picking up lots of rubbish, but it actually turned out to be the other way round.

At the end of the day we had a talk about the importance of the work we’d been doing. I was amazed I’d really recommend anyone to get involved next year. I’ll certainly be there again.
