Fellow Members of the Springfield Robotics Club: we have a problem. It has come to my attention that the workshop has been left an absolute mess on at least two separate occasions. Remember, that this is a shared space, so we must clean up behind ourselves after every meeting. It is in the spirit of keeping our club meeting space that we establish this rule: when you take a tool off the rack, put it back.

So, if you like having a meeting place, and being part of our club, put your tools back. What is the main idea of this passage?

The workshop that the robotics club uses was left a mess.

Take the tools off the rack and put it back when done.
