70th Story Writing Competition / Protecting the Environment
 |
|---|
Hello friends and welcome to my blog once again. I appreciate @fjjrg for such creative contest I would share my thoughts immediately.
Salvador is a young boy belonging to a Scout group in his region, where there are many beautiful, lush beaches. Tourism is the livelihood of many families. However, when tourists leave, they always leave a lot of trash on the beach, and little by little, it accumulates. There isn't enough time to remove it all when the tourists return, and they continue to leave their trash and garbage. Salvador, along with his fellow Scouts, decided to launch a campaign to raise awareness about this issue and encourage tourists to take their trash with them or at least leave it in designated areas.
As children between the ages of 11 and 14, Salvador and his friends face several challenges in carrying out their campaign. They post notices that littering on the beach is prohibited, and they hand out flyers to people in their cars as they enter the area, but tourists ignore their instructions. One of the boys approaches a group of tourists who were throwing some waste candy and soda packaging into the air, hoping the wind would carry it away, and says...
These boys started a tourist campaign against littering the environment immediately to see to it that the bad menace of littering was combatted. They arranged themselves in groups of 8 boys, they decided to start off on a note of singing with melodious tunes.
Moreso these tourist were intrigued as they enjoyed themselves, most came close to see what these kids were up to listening to their songs attentively. This stirred their interest , the young boys and Salvador coined poems out of the keeping the environment clean and creative melodic tunes to keep their visitors alive.

These tourist were handed little beautiful cards colored with Neon and other creative designs having the clear message of keeping the environment clean. What better way to pass the message of environmental sanitation. During the day various scout boys were placards at strategic positions bearing the same message but in more boldly writings for the tourist to be aware too.

Highlights of the event was a little stunt performance by the scout team to entertain these tourist, most of these guests gathered to watch these acrobatic display, a little girl amongst them started sharing these cards, no one would resist collecting it because she looked so cute and had little innocent smile. The content of the card was "keep our environment safe today."thus brought more joy to the events.
Finally, a big thrash can was positioned strategically at the zones where these tourists passed more often and the scouts manning the zones had little refreshments for their guests, a banner was placed which wrote "Rewards for keeping here clean". This attracted lots of kids queuing up for the candy and goodies the get from proper disposing of dirts, it became a party as these gifts made them happy too. It was the best time of the event. The program got the attention of the government. The set up polices to champion the motion and placed more sophisticated disposal trucks and containers around the beach!
