This means that our beach is full of rubbish and it is becoming too dirty and dangerous to swim there People will cut themselves on broken glass or tins, and sea creatures will die when they swallow plastic bags or other rubbish
Fortunately, there are a few simple solutions to this problem First, we can organise a clean-up day; we’ll all help clean up and also inform people of how important it is to keep the beach clean We should also put bins on the beach and put signs up to tell people to put their rubbish in these bins
