My contribution to a clean environment- 19-11-2024

2 days ago

I don't know about others, but there is this special joy that comes with keeping my environment clean and tidy. That feeling of looking at a place and realising how messed up it would have been if you hadn't made an effort to clean it up.

So, today at my workplace, I caught sight of yet another eyesore, Heeps of dirts. One funny thing is how people will continue to drop dirts even when the waste container is already filled up. Instead of taking these containers to be emptied they rather pour the refuse on the already filled up container.

I wasn't pleased to see this. I knew I had to do something, something the onlookers would need to learn from. After doing some work for the day, I went to clear the mess.

My cleaning tools, the broom and packer were always there to help.
I started by getting a disposable nylon big enough to contain the entire dirt. I carefully packed the dirts to avoid getting injuries from the broken bottles people carelessly dropped by the container.

After packing as much, I used the broom and the packer to sweep the space very thoroughly and to pack up the remaining dirts into the big nylon.

I was very much delighted to see the outcome of my effort. it is true that many who passed by didn't utter a word to me as I did the cleaning, But I'm sure to have planted a seed that will in time germinate into making them realise the importance of a cleanplanet.
