gold3nglare4년 이상I love penguins. You know, we need to save the penguins. Their home is in jeopardy because of us melting the icecaps. Guys, i challenge you to participate in a beach, park, or neighborhood cleanup! If you just pick up one piece of trash, and put it where it belongs, that's great too!
