Lina and Tina were best friends who loved to play in the park.One day, they saw wrappers, bottles, and papers all over the grass.“Oh no!” said Lina. “The park is messy!”Tina frowned. “The animals won’t like this!”They knew they had to do something.

The next day, Lina and Tina brought a bag and some gloves.
“Let’s pick up the trash and make the park nice again!” said Tina.
They picked up paper, plastic, and wrappers.
They threw everything in the right bins.
“Look how clean it is now!” Lina smiled.
The birds chirped happily in the trees

After cleaning, Lina found a little spot near a tree. “Let’s plant something!” she said. Tina brought a flower seed from home. They dug a small hole and gently placed the seed inside. They gave it water and made a promise: “We’ll come every day to take care of it!”

One morning, Lina saw a plastic bottle on the path.“Don’t throw that away!” said Tina. “We can reuse it.”They cleaned the bottle and made it into a flower vase!They also learned to sort paper, plastic, and glass at home.“Recycling helps the Earth,” Lina said.“And it’s fun too!” giggled Tina.
