Clearly, car seat installations and fire prevention programs promote community safety. When car seats are properly installed, they can save the lives of children who are involved in car accidents. This increases overall safety in the community. When the government helps prevent fires, it helps to prevent the loss of life and property that can occur in a fire. Again, this promotes safety.

Recycling and cultural festivals, on the other hand, do not promote safety as their main effect. Recycling programs are meant mainly to benefit the environment while cultural festivals are meant mainly to promote happiness and pride in the community. Neither of these are particularly connected to safety. However, one of them must be connected to community safety (according to your instructor). If I had to answer this question, I would say that recycling programs are not meant to promote public safety while cultural festivals are.

My reasoning is that cultural festivals promote pride among various communities. They let the various ethnic communities in a place feel that they are valued by the government and by their broader community. If people from all ethnic groups feel valued, they are less likely to commit crimes against one another. In that way, we can say that cultural festivals promote community safety. This means that recycling programs are potentially the government service that does not encourage community safety.
