Laura Right, David, the school has asked us to come up with a poster about littering.
David Why?
Laura Well, I think it's because there's so much rubbish around the street near the school. Most of the rubbish is things that kids from our school drop.
David Oh, OK. So how about a picture with a field or river with lots of litter in it and a slogan saying 'I wish it didn't look like this'?
Laura Mmm, nice idea.
David Or we could have the problems litter causes: it costs money to remove, it looks bad, it attracts more litter and it can harm people and animals.
Laura I think I'd rather focus on something more positive.
David Oh yes? Like what?
Laura Well, we could look at the solutions rather than the problem.
DavidSuchas?
Laura We could encourage people to put rubbish in bins and not on the floor, take rubbish home with them, and use a cloth bag instead of plastic bags.
David And always clean up after your dog?
Laura Hmm I don't think that would be a good idea to be honest, dog mess is not what this is about.
DavidOh,OK.Do you think we should mention recycling as well?
Laura Yes, good idea. Oh, the poster could have four corners: bin it, take it home, don't use plastic, and recycle.
David That sounds brilliant! Shall we make it ourselves?
LauraIthinkaskingEvatodoit would be better. She is a better artist than us.
DavidOK,let's ask her.
