Our environment is crying, yet we hear no voice.  It is heartbreaking to see how we the students have allowed the Rancho Cucamonga campus to become.  It is especially important to be concerned with our campus not only for the selfless reasons we should have, but for our own benefits. 

Trash makes the immediate surroundings ugly when students throw their trash on to the parking lot. Where does the trash go?  The answer lies where-ever the elements take it, often ending up in our waterways and then to the ocean.  

The world's largest land fill is not on land at all; it is in the ocean.  "The Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch" is composed of two sections, the west and the east.  The east portion is between California (1000 miles off coast) and Hawaii, and the west portion is between Hawaii and Japan.
