Clean Up Drive and tree planting |

Today I attended a Beach Clean Up Drive and Tree Planting organised by the Emirates Environment Group (EEG) of which I am a Student Member. EEG regularly organises such initiatives for environmental conservation and to raise awareness in the community. One such initiative was the Neighborhood Recycling Project in which I had participated during the summer vacation. It involved collection of recyclable material from my neighborhood and depositing it for recycling. I was able to collect a considerable amount and as a reward for my efforts EEG qualified me to plant 7 trees under my name. The tree planting event was clubbed with a Beach Clean Up today at the City of Ras Al Khaimah in UAE about 2 hours drive from Dubai where I live. But I am not writing this report to talk about my work.
While I was happy to be a part of this event and felt content at having done my share of work for the environment, it also made me feel a bit upset. Why do we need Clean Up Drives- Can we not keep our surroundings clean as a habit? Why do we not ensure that our waste is disposed properly so that it does not cause litter in public places? These were some of the questions that I asked myself. Are we really that stupid that first we spend time in creating a problem and then we spend some more time in solving it! Just imagine if each one of us acted responsibly, there would be no clean up required. The time spent by so many people on a Clean Up Drive can be spent other causes. From my side I am going to try and convince as many people as I can, to change their way of thinking and I look forward to joining more Beautification Drives rather that Clean Up Drives in the times to come.

You are absolutely right, Aaditya. We have to make 3R activity as our habit, daily routine.
Till then, we need eco-leaders like you to protect the environment until people's behavior gets changed eco-friendly :)
