Yesterday I participated in an event called "cleaning the world". This action gather together people that want to take care about the environment usually including neighbouring schools and residents. This time we were cleaning a small forest near my block of flats in Siemianowice Ślaskie. I think it was a great idea and even me and my family was thinking about organising something like this. This forrest is a beautiful place and recently was renovated so it keeps looking better each month. It is a great place for a long walk with friends or family but also the only place in neighbourhood were dogs could feel free to run. The only problem was that each time I was there my dog came back to house feeling sick. He was eating some garbage that was left there. We (because I went there with my whole family) decided no to be listless. This was the place were we live and we couldn't leave it like this. But the things I saw were terrible. A lot of garbage, empty bottles of alcohol, tons of cups and even some drugs residues. I think that the place we had founded in the forrest was a meeting place of drug addicts. It was very exhausting adventure for me and I think they after this what I have saw I am not going to throw any trash on the ground ever!

Biking

Last week my parents had bought me a bicycle, finally. It was very good time because a short holiday had started and I had some free time that I could spend in an active way. I decided to go for a bike together with my friend. We went to Częstochowa were he has a small summerhouse and there is a lot of free space for biking and relaxing. We went to neighbouring village to a lake and back to his house.

Also wen we got back to Katowice we decided not to take bus when we wanted to get to city centre but take a bike instead. In this way we were taking care about out health and gain condition but also take care about the environment.

We really like to spend time together, but we don’t like boredom, so a bike seemed to be a great idea for us. And it was. We had spent an amazing time together and had so much fun. I hope we will be able to repeat this action as much times as it will be possible.
