Olenka: The problem with rubbish is that it is ugly and it smells bad. It can also harm people, animals, plants and trees. Some things we throw away in our rubbish bins can poison our soil, water and air.

Ivan: We can do a lot to help save our environment. We can recycle many things like newspapers, magazines, journals and wrapped paper.
