Answer 1

global warming cannot be stopped but we can stop helping it becoming faster,and being friendlier to out Environment cannot be bad

if you do any cleaning up leave signs behind saying who cleaned,why and ask people not to start dumping rubbish again ,leave a hole or bins ,in case people come with trash ,

we have done a lot of comunity cleaning and if you dont leave alternatives or try to work on peoples guilt feelings (some people actually have those ,but not many)

than your efforts are a waste of time.

Answer 2

Save the Whales and Feed the World! XD

Or

walk around  in 2s or 3s around the city, picking up garbage and litter. and tell them to put it all in a garbage bag. In the end of the day the group with most litter wins something, or you could weigh all the bags from all the groups togehter and the weight of it together would give "something", maybe cash, or if they reach a certain weight, you can all go do soemthing fun like enjoy an amusement park or something!

Or

You could all paint pictures of nature, but with alot of garbage and litter all around it and animals suffering. These pictures / poster can then be put up around the city to bring second thought to people walking around the city.

Or

You could all go into the Bush, sit down together, set up a camp fire and sing coom bai ya! XD
