In light of recent events, there's an important lesson we all need to embrace: the responsibility we share in keeping our surroundings clean and free of garbage. I recently had a firsthand experience that truly opened my eyes to the consequences of neglecting this duty.While attempting to document the aftermath of a flood for my content, I ventured out to capture some footage. However, what I encountered left me both saddened and frustrated. The streets and drains were choked with garbage, debris, and waste. This wasn’t just a minor issue—our environment was being suffocated by the very trash we discard so carelessly.Initially, I intended to share the video as a piece of informative content, but as I reviewed the footage, I realized something important: showcasing this would not just reflect poorly on our community; it would also perpetuate the shame of a problem we can solve ourselves. Instead of bringing attention to the effects of the flood, the video would only serve as a grim reminder of the pollution we’ve allowed to accumulate.I decided to delete the footage, not because the situation isn’t worth addressing, but because I believe there’s a more constructive approach we can take. We all want a cleaner, safer environment—one where floods don’t wreak havoc because the drains are clogged with waste. This isn’t just a municipal problem; it’s a community one.So, I’m reaching out to everyone with a simple request: let’s take action. Dispose of garbage properly. Don’t wait for someone else to pick it up—be the one who makes a difference. Clean your surroundings, educate others, and work together to ensure our community stays clean and healthy. By doing so, we can prevent future floods, improve our quality of life, and take pride in the place we call home.Remember, the change begins with us. Let’s show that we care about where we live, and let’s take the steps necessary to protect our environment for ourselves and for future generations.
