I often indulge in daydreaming to visualize India to be a pollution free clean country. Then I question to myself, is it possible or is it just a mere fantasy? We all are aware of the benefits of keeping our environment clean, but do we stretch ourselves a bit or try to find out ways to make it actually possible.
Recently I was very much inspired and impressed by my neighbour Gunita Dewan who actually reuses non-biodegradable waste to make beautiful, attractive objects like pots, pen stand, card holder. She is reusing plastic waste to lessen the burden of pollution from the environment.
Non-biodegradable waste is an environmental concern as it threatens to overwhelm landfills and produce disposal problems, unlike biodegradable waste such as food and other organic waste non-biodegradable waste remains stable indefinitely. It offers items like rubber, plastic, fibre-glass, metals. When Swatch Bharat Abhiyan was launched there was a sensational drive all over the country. Such movement should be strengthened more so that a clean India emerges.
If we keenly observe we will find some trees on the main road that connect CR park with Kalkaji, plastic packets containing flowers are hung there. It is very important to find out alternative solutions instead of dirtying our motherland. Let us all interrogate ourself and question do we really want to live in an impure, infected, poisonous surrounding? The answer will be no! never. Then let us all strive to change our habit and make our motherland a more beautiful, habitable place to live and to ensure a bright future for our next generation.
