I DON'T LITTER!!!
“I DON’T LITTER”
Getting up, doing the bed sheets, brushing, taking bath is how my day starts. After I am ready for the day, I face towards the canteen for breakfast, which usually is a packed sandwich and an orange juice. Stepping towards the department while finishing my breakfast, I would often get worried about carrying the emptied packs in my hand till I reached the department, not because I was too slow to finish it but because there were no trash boxes on campus. How strange it was until now that the campus lacked the basic requirement to check scrap. “I don’t litter” is my favourite shibboleth which I am proud of following and want others to be envious of. I have faced ridicules at times for carrying the trash along till I find a bin but that hardly bothers me. I find it rather a good option to keep the waste papers in my bag. At times I have come across a few friends who give me their junk for they find it ridiculous of keeping the trash along and on the same time throwing it on the road. Strange it is that we are “Shy” to be good and “shameful to become bad. Fortunately they are not the “shameless” lots.
I often see people littering around themselves and giving lame excuses with a grin, as in, this waste is not going to harm the soil but will get decomposed (in the coming few weeks? Months?) and the next day those very people avoid sitting and stepping there, where they added to the mother Earth’s fertility. How nice it feels to live in a clean and well maintained house, same is with our environment where we spend most of the time and unfortunately we don’t bother to keep it clean because “its not personal”.
When in a shopping mall, we always look out for a bin, for 2 reasons. First, that it is too clean to be messed up and second, people will look down upon us if we litter. So cleanliness there becomes a status symbol. When acting wrong everyone of us thinks in the same way “no one is watching, so lets do it.” Whenever you are about to do anything and it comes to your mind that “no one is watching”, its time to stop yourself then and there because you are turning towards some “sin” (be it any). This statement has been a handy teacher for me every time and kept me a step behind whenever I was about to throw myself into “the evil bin”.
Now the campus is equipped with trash boxes and all we need is just to keep the waste for a few seconds till we reach the next bin, so that you need not change your way or cover your nose the next day over the “sin” you committed a day before.
