Part C:Impact of man on Jurong Lake Park

Many of us enjoy strolling in JLP,exercising using the fitness corner in the park,playing in the playground specially designed for kids and teenagers,and also doing recreational activities in the lake.Schools near the lake such as Yuan Ching Secondary School and Jurong Secondary School use the lake for activities,example dragonboat.they train in the lake and park their dragonboats in the park.
Many of them pack food and have a picnic along the lake.However,many of them leave behind rubbish after having their picnic.litter such as plastic bottles,food wrappers and aluminium cans.These pollute the environment and affect the biodiversity of the lake.The litter dirties the lake and cause harm to the animals living in the lake.

Why is throwing a piece of litter into the bin so difficult?There are many bins along the walkway of Jurong Lake Park and they are easily spotted.Let us all imagine.Would you want to go into a park to enjoy and relax,but the park is dirty because of inconsiderate people who dirty the park with rubbish?We would not be able to enjoy ourself in peace.Hence,it is important to keep the park clean.If everyone does their part and throw all their rubbish into  the respective bins,Jurong Lake Park would definitely be a clean and green park for people from all walks of life to enjoy.
