Hello friends,
It is another good day, we must ensure that our environment is kept clean and safe.
Today, I was walking down my street and I felt very bad on how the environment looked like. As a cleanyourplanet advocate, I was not pleased in how dirt and wastes were littered around. It seems here in Africa we don't have a proper waste management system rules that guides us here.
You see people dumping refuse everywhere in the street and they go freely without being penalized. It is very obvious that most of this people do not know the implications of what they are doing. If only they knew the harm they causing to this environment they would have done the right thing. Tommorow, when sickness and diseases start spreading and there is no money to treat them they will blame the government for not providing jobs for the masses, why they themselves are not helping matters at all for themselves.
I believe one-day the government will start up a good system that will help regulate the disposal of waste in the locals and communities. I don't think just mere education will make them change, they need strict rules to guide them, so that when they break rules they know the penalty they will face. But for now, we will try our best to keep educating them on why we should keep the environment clean and save the planet.
I did some cleaning activities today.
