Clean message

Earth Day is Every Day...#SaveEarth
Citizens of the world are coming up with new strategies to conserve our natural resources and protect our world from many natural threats. 

There are debates and discussions on issues such as carbon emission, global warming, water pollution, air pollution, land pollution. Experts suggest various ways to conserve Mother Nature by reducing and recycling waste, prevent damage to the desert, wetlands and other wildlife habitats.

However, upon noticing, I have realised that most of the people only stick to theories and do not apply them practically. 

I often notice people visiting beaches, parks and the corniche for partying. But it was sad to see them littering the area and leaving the trash behind.

It is extremely disappointing to see beautiful sites destroyed due to the carelessness of a few visitors. 

The trash left behind could harm people and spread pollution as well.

The municipalities put signs and also impose fines as they try their best to keep the city clean. It would be better if we spread the word among people, because it is a duty of the residents as well. We should also take some precautions before partying or camping.

We should be considerate and think about others. It is better not to light an open fire so that the land is not destroyed. We can prevent the use of glass bottles or such things. We could try not to leave behind the traces of camping.

If we all contribute together, we could do a much better work. We could enjoy the scenery and let those who come after us enjoy the same scene.

We should remember that these places are meeting places and campsites, not landfills.
