Pollution is one of the many reasons I think of how paradise would look like, I always imagine myself living away from any form of pollution and I would see cleanliness in every form it can take.
I may not be the cleaniest person but I know when somewhere is no clean and needs attention to become healthy for people living in such a place. There is this joy when a place is very clean.
Somehow, most of my country people have lost this joy and we are just trying to cope with the damage that pollution has caused. Many people have lost their good health because of pollution.
Ever imagined a time when citizens of every country prioritize cleanliness and shun anyone who tries to pollute a place? I have and I think of a happy people and green places whenever I do.
It's one thing to stop pollution but it's another major thing to actually see that a place is polluted. I got back from the market minutes ago, I can't explain the level of pollution I saw there.
It has been normalized now that market places are always polluted, from dirts of their bad items to smoke from car exhausts, nothing and nowhere is safe for humans comfortable living.
Some people even think that so long their houses are clean and alway catered for, they are living a healthy life but if we are being honest, the outside we frequent or go once in a while is not healthy.
What you could have been avoiding daily at home can not be avoided when you go out there, and this is because nobody cares about the world outside so they send all their house dirts into it.
I witnessed a fellow citizen mocking another for looking for a dirtcan to dispose an empty sachet after drinking, she thought it was weird for him to show such form of cleanliness outside his house.
Our lands are polluted with all kinds of dirts, our air is polluted with all kinds of dust and smoke, our water have turned into a sewage diposal zone for many, not even one is safe anymore.
Pollution have countless effects on humans, animals and our environment. Even our green trees and leaves suffer from the pollution. It calls for everyone to act positively towards ending it.
No matter how clean we might be at home, if we don't fix how worse our environment is turning out to be, our health will continue to be in danger and this will amount to spending on medication.
I once asked, is it not much easier and cheaper to maintain cleanliness than cope with dirt and spend money on staying healthy? Someone said, no matter how poor one is, he can be clean too.
So when people say it's because there is no money that places are dirty, I beg to disagree. Cleanliness is a habit that everyone should cultivate and stay disciplined to carry out often.
Like I read in someone's entry, one of the major ways to put an end to pollution is to start punishing people while providing better options to dispose dirts and keep the environment clean.
