The document discusses how lack of public spirit contributes to environmental problems like rubbish pollution. It notes that most litter comes from people casually throwing garbage out of vehicles or elsewhere. This litter can lead to air, water, and soil pollution as toxic substances are released. The litter also promotes growth of germs, bacteria, and viruses that threaten human health. To address this issue, the author's high school class conducted a field experiment where they picked up garbage in their community. The local residents supported this action and the students hope to encourage better garbage disposal habits. The conclusion advocates for stronger public spirit and care for the community to keep areas cleaner, peaceful, and healthy.

5. 2.Lacking public spirit creats the
environmental problems
(1)Air pollution──the plastic bottles and bags
and other plastic products will release toxic
gases when burning.
(2)Water pollution──The toxic substances from
the rubbish will pollute the rivers and
underground water because of the rain lashing
and permeating.

6. (3)Soil pollution──The toxic substances
permeate through the dry soil and affect the
growing of plants as well as the production of
crops.

7. (4)Germ,bacteria and virus will grow and
multiply──The organic substances from the
garbage will gather mosquitoes,flies and
mice,etc.And those harmful media spread
diseases and damage human health.

8. 3.The problems of surroundings
The crises of rubbish:
1.If we don’t handle the garbage appropriately,it
tends to cause the mess and dirty
environment,and the worse,it pollutes soil,air
and water.And the last we human beings
become the victims.

9. 2.Most people will take the rubbish out when
the garbage druck comes,but there are still
some people just casually throwing away
rubbish,and this is the reason why our
environment becomes the home of viruses and
germs,and following a lot of sanitary problems.

13. (3)The thought after service
Our team went to the communities to practice
the action of picking the rubbish.The local
people approve and appreciate our action.We
work hard in the hope that our action of
exteming to the communities can encourage
more people to build the good habits of no-
touch-ground rubbish.

14. The suggetion to the lacking of pubic spirit
Don’t put the garbage in the front of the
neighbor or the entrance of the stairs.Don’t put
the garbage into the gutter or river lest the
garbage should block the water.Don’t make
noises lest it should or cats make dirty.If
everybody with the public spirit and care about
others,our socity will be cleaner,more peaceful
and happier.

15. Conclusion
The vows of public spirit:
Everyone keep public spirit,and community will
be clean and sanitary.
