Some of the environmental issues that the people are facing nowadays are created by themselves. People are disregarding the environmental needs for their own convenience. This has led to a polluted environment. Some of the key problems that my neighbourhood faces due to the ignorance of people are listed below along with their suitable solutions:
1. Excessive garbage on the streets: Some people do not put any effort in keeping the roads and the streets clean. They throw away garbage wherever they find it convenient. They litter the streets and do not use the dustbins that are provided for garbage disposal.
Solution: The solution to this problem is very simple; people only need to make the effort to throw the garbage in the nearest dustbin and not on the street. If a dustbin is not available nearby, then they can keep the waste that is to be disposed with them and throw it in the garbage bin at home.
2. Urinating in public: Some people do not have basic decency and pollute the environment by urinating wherever they please. This leads to spreading of diseases and a general unhygienic atmosphere.
Solution: People should have a sense of not polluting public places by urinating in public and should avoid such acts as they are unhygienic and harmful for the environment.
3. Improper drainage system: Some of the localities nearby have open drains that sometimes overflow on the streets. This leads to dirty water overflowing on the streets and transmission of diseases.
Solution: The drains should be covered, as it is not hygienic to come in contact with germs that breed in the drains and cause diseases and pollute the air around us.
