Her aim is to collect food for Brunswick Food Bank. “I like helping people a lot,” said Junelle, who celebrated her 11th birthday in July. With the support of her parents, Junelle walks along the streets with an orange bag. Her mother follows her by car, so Junelle can empty her bag when it becomes heavy. Isabella always accompanies(陪伴) her daughter. Neighbor Lynda Mallory dropped noodles and canned soup, vegetables and fruit into Junelle’s bag. After visiting the last house, Junelle said she felt good about what she had achieved with the help of her neighbors. Working an hour a night three times per week, she has collected more than 400 pounds of canned and boxed food. This isn’t the first year she has collected food.

But even large cities purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans.
