From a water bottle I drank at the ballpark last night:
"We can all make a difference, please recycle."
Good sentiment; bad punctuation. This sentence is really two sentences that should be separated with a period, not a comma:
"We can all make a difference. Please recycle."
You can't put two complete thoughts together with just a comma. Wrong;
I love you, will you marry me?
He ate too much cake, he got a tummy ache.
Right:
I love you. Will you marry me?
He ate too much cake. He got a tummy ache.
He ate too much cake, so he got a tummy ache.
He ate too much cake and got a tummy ache.

Would a semicolon be wrong?
He ate too much cake; he got a tummy ache.
You can use a semicolon!
A+ for you!
