It will interest you to know that not only environment, wears or what you eat can be seen as clear or dirty. Even your lifestyle, behaviors or daily habits could also be seen as dirty.
So what am trying to say is that; first, cleanliness has nothing to do with wealth, or riches. Riches only amplifies your standard of clean living. secondly; being poor doesn't mean that you can't be clean. And lastly; Cleanliness doesn't only connote, environment, wears, food and water. even our daily behaviors of associating with other people, can be very dirty.
But if we are looking at environmental cleanliness, I feel education is important. Please you need to understand this; That being "Educated", doesn't mean acquiring certifications. There are people who might not be opportune to go to school, but they can be very Educated, as education is simply the process of transmitting knowledge aligning with area of concern or discipline.
So educating people whether rich or poor_ about their environment and the dangers of not keeping them clean, can be one powerful approach to changing lives. Rich people can be dirty, if they are not properly informed about the dangers of not being clean, same with poor people.
This thing is an habit, and so it take a thorough discipline instilled by gradually educating them of the dangers involved in keeping environment, food, water or even behavior dirty. Of course you know that dirty behavior can scare away people from you. Yes! truth. But the most effective form of education begins with self discipline. Thanks for stopping by.
