Our local park is in poor condition, and it is up to us to clean it. If we clean up the park, more people will want to visit it. The last time our park was cleaned, visitors to the park increased by 23 percent. If we clean the park, people will be safer because they will not have to worry about stepping on trash. Kids will have more fun playing on a clean playground. The mayor has agreed to fund the cleaning project if we get enough volunteers.

People have a responsibility to clean up the park.
Visitors to the park increased when it was clean.
Cleaning up trash in the park will make people safer.
The mayor will help fund volunteer efforts to clean the park.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
