[Article#3] Importance of ClayGo

-
The Importance of CLAY GO Written by Johnrei Gonzaga        CLAY GO (Clean as you go) is an implementation that started at 2015. It is a common practice used nowadays and being implemented everywhere at schools including Bacolod Tay Tung High School (BTTHS). This campaign was implemented so that people will become disciplined at throwing trash in the trash can and cleaning the area they have worked on back on its original state.

It seems that it has gradually become more acceptable for people to drop litter, with over 30 million tonnes of litter collected from the streets in England each year – enough to fill Wembley Stadium to the very top four times. Keep Britain Tidy wrote in a recent report that "litter is one of the first signs of social decay. If we don't care about litter on our street, in our parks or on our high streets, we are unlikely to care about other environmental issues that negatively impact on our lives, our communities and society".
