Aesthetic Beauty turned into a Garbage Dumpby | 02-02-2014 12:29 |

   As a part of giving back to the society, I participated in an event organized recently in Dubai. The event was very well organized, from the exciting games, food stalls and various activities.The picture shows the amount of trash, garbage, plastic bottles, polythene bags and wrappers that mounted after the event on the roads and footpaths. I was disheartened to see that before spotlessly clean area turned into a garbage dump. This shows that people are unaware and careless of their environment and lack civic sense. This diminishes our aim to be the one of the cleanest cities of the world. Individuals should understand their responsibility and use the bins that are placed to use them and not just continue littering in public. I want to ask this question that if you are at your home, do you litter your house the same way as this place? No. We throw the litter in the bin, wherever the bin is placed, then why should our environment suffer. People are concerned how dirty their houses may look but have no guilt of littering in public places. Also, this trash left on the road would be picked up by the workers. Think how much time would it take. It is a major public health and safety hazard as it attracts disease causing insects and is also a major cause of injuries caused by discarded cans and broken bottles. The most important is that it is diminishing the aesthetic appearance of public places. We as individuals should spread awareness and try and educate those around us against littering in public. Especially the children, who are our future, should be taught to throw litter in bins right from school days. The best way to prevent this irresponsible behaviour of people from littering in public places is by creating awareness. |
