Need of Promoting Cleanliness in the surrounding areas

Now a days, Keeping the surroundings clean has become a big issue. We keep our homes neat and clean then why not public places. We only remember to clean our homes but why we don't remember to clean our country, which is our main home. People makes the public places dirty in many ways which includes not using dustbins, spitting anywhere on roads, throwing papers, plastic, wrappers on roads. (We keep our homes spick and span but don't care for cleanliness at public places.)

The growing garbage and filth have
vitiated, (spoil, harmed, degraded) the atmosphere. It has become the major source of pollution such as air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution. Burning of wastes releases harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide which affects our environment. Waste emerges from the factories are dumped into the rivers affects the marine life and thereby affects humans. Household waste such as waste from kitchen is the greatest source of soil pollution which affects many soil organisms too. Moreover, It spreads malaria, dengue, cholera, diarrhea and various respiratory disorders. It also becomes hazard for animals.

In order to protect ourselves from various ailments and viruses, It is imperative to keep the surroundings spic and span. This gives rise to a good character. Clean surroundings have become an indication of one's lifestyle and prevents illness and sickness. It is considered as the best place for overall growth and development. It helps us to stay active all the day and enhances our productivity. It creates a good impression on others. Environment of the area becomes fresh and amount of pollution gets reduce.
