I was given the responsibility of keeping the environment clean around my residential area, a few days back. I considered it a monumental task and wondered how I was going to accomplish it. Keeping one’s own place clean takes lot of efforts, let alone a whole colony! I had no choice but to accomplish it just to prove that it could be done. It could even be set as an example for others to follow.
With such a motivation in mind, I started planning my steps to start the big task. My first step was to start a door to door campaign and talk to people about the necessity of keeping their own surrounding clean. I stressed the significance of each house doing their own bit in keeping the area around their property clean and without any litter.
I started taking rounds in the early evenings to make sure the neighbours kept to their promise of maintaining a clean surrounding and followed it regularly too. Some of them needed some reminders and some encouragement while others had to be forced to see the light!
Alongside this initiative, I also collected some people and planted lot of saplings around our area for future benefits. I spoke to relevant people and drove home the point that whenever a tree was cut it had be replaced with new planting.
I went to my area Corporator to ensure that the public places were maintained well and kept clean too. I also made sure that all the civil services in our area were maintained well.
I have decided to continue my initiative to keep the surrounding areas around my residential colony clean and well maintained. I have also motivated my friends who live in the colony to help me in this initiative so we could set a good example for others.
