FUTURE LIVES ON GARBAGE?

By: Mabruka Mohamed Jiyad

On our 25th or 30th birthday, do we want to wake up to a country as unclean and dirty as the garbage? No right! Look at our surrounding. Are we really oblivious to the increasing amount of environmental issues day by day? Well, I don’t think so. We have to make a change while we can, because we are the ones who are going to walk on this Earth in future.

Majority of the teenage population these days drink a bottle or a packet and throw it wherever they are, whether it is the road or their house. We need to stop these little actions which are having huge impact on the environment.

Let us start by conducting a ‘clean your surrounding’ hour every week. We are going to set up a particular hour in one day of the week, where we will use time efficiently and clean as much as we can. And I am sure by the end on a month we will see an unbelievable improvement. Furthermore we can organize a programme to replace every plastic bag with cloth ones. This will be really beneficial for our environment. In addition to this we always have to keep in mind the 3 words. Re-use, Reduce and Recycle.

In a matter of one year we could bring a lot of good changes. It is easy if we give it a try. This is not impossible as long as we have the full co-operation of one another. Make a change for a cleaner future! (250 words)
