"In a couple of days it will be the same as it was. When will we learn to appreciate our nature?" asked chanba_madina_.
"I am ashamed that we cannot live in cleanliness. It is shameful that there is so much trash in such a place. It is shameful that we do not take care of nature, animals, birds. It is shameful and painful for our land, which the Lord has given us. Take care of the earth, be kinder. Well done, guys, not everyone will do such a thing, but everyone can throw trash, and there are many of them," emphasized sveta_taran1.
