Cleaning Campaign at Damside of Fewalake

by Prakriti Ghimire | 27-04-2021 16:38





The picture below shows the immediate change after 2 days of powerful participation of Pokhareli Yuwa. But this is not the end. There¡¯s much more to be done by the locals, ward level, Phewa preservation organizations and metropolitan. This was just an example and we have a lot of other places that needs attention and care in Pokhara.

I believe most of us(Insta and fb fam) are aware about the fact that a number of people collectively did clearing and cleaning of small part of Phewa lake today. Firstly We just want to thank all the helping hands those who showed up today and did all the job positively. It wasn't easy at all, wasn't what we had anticipated it to be, wasn't only plastics and bottles. It was full of all possible huwan wastes. You could literally sense the smell of urine, faeces, alcohol, animal dung all over the place. The place was filled with water, was swampy so it wasn't possible for someone to get in, we had to use a boat to get in. The process was really time consuming considering the human resource, equipments and options we had. Took us almost 12 hours to clear the litter partially in two days.
Last but not the least, I would like to request everyone of us to be responsible and act like one.Mostly I see travellersexplorers in my social media.So, Its solely our responsibility to preserve and protect our natural resources. If you cannot clean, please don't litter as well. If you really do care, please do come forward and give us a hand cause sharing and supporting in social media will not clear those accumulated litter. Let us all be bit serious regarding this matter. Well it doesn't have to be a popular destination, doesn't have to be a limelight place, if you see any such place or area near you where your concern is needed. Just play your part and do as much as you possibly can. Either you're the change or there is no change at all!!
And don't forget nature will return what you give......!
Be a responsible traveller and more over a responsible citizen💛
