my actions to make our environment cleaner, greener and healthier 🌲🌲🌲🌴🌴🌴||By @avalanch

INTRODUCTION

I welcome all the steemians to this all important contest that is being hosted in the community. The contest is geared towards making intentional efforts that would promote an appreciable level of cleanliness in order for us to achieve a healthy living, safe and clean environment.

It can never be a mistaken action for one to prioritize maintaining a clean environment. The reason to this is not far fetched. Living in filthy environment comes with attendant health consequences and environmental degradation. The negative impact of living in a filthy environment also comes as a cost burden, since one would always seek medical attention to diagnose the ill health that could be resulting from living in an unhealthy environment.

WHAT KIND OF ENVIRONMENT WOULD YOU PREFER TO LIVE IN?

Comparatively, one would always choose to live in environment that is safe, clean and beautified with environmentaly friendly plants or flowers, than choosing to live where the safety of their health would not be guaranteed.

But come to think of it, why would some people like or choose to live in a clean and safe environment, but fails to realize that living in a safe and clean environment, comes with taking the responsibility to make such environment safe for a healthy living? Would this be perceived that they are negligent, or they are being unaware of the health implications of living in an unclean and unsafe environment? Fellow steemians, help me to provide the answers!

As your are providing the answers, let now address the questions as raised by the host of this contest, @ngoenyi.

Being an advocate for a clean environment, below are the practical/details of how I have been engaging myself to ensure that I contribute by taking the responsibility of achieving a clean environment.

MY CATEGORY: Cutting The Grasses To Achieve A Clean Environment.

• WHAT I DID.

Saturdays of the weekend, are often regarded as a clean up day. I use it to look into some parts of my environment that are overgrown by weeds. On walking around the surrounding in the morning, I observed that weeds has grown in some parts of my surroundings. I speedily 🏃🏃run to the house and demanded for Cutlass, rake, shovel and hoe, so that I could use them to clear the grasses within the environment.

• HOW I DID IT

As you could see from the above pictures, on getting to the site, the first thing I did was cutting the grasses with my Cutlass. It took me about twenty five (25) minutes to finish cutting the grasses. Because of the rainy days that we are in now, weeds grow fast on that part of my environment.

• WHERE I DID IT

Hahaha.....🤣🤣 Well, I'm from the south eastern part of Nigeria, precisely Abia state. I normally carry out my environmental clean up exercise in my residence as mentioned above. Though there is a monthly environmental clean up exercise in the state every last Saturday of the month, I don't wait till that time to care for my environment. Whenever the environment looks unkept, I make sure to clean off every form filthiness.

• WHAT MOTIVATED ME.

It is not fun to live in an unventilated environment, dirty surroundings, water stagnated environment, absence of drainage systems, and non beautified surroundings.

Living in an unclean and unsafe environment have severe health consequences. So to avoid any outbreak of diseases which may be caused by keeping a dirty surroundings, and the attendant costs that comes with the treatment of such disease, I would always prefer to prioritize keeping my environment clean and safe.

CONCLUSION

A safe, clean and beautified environment is really admired by everyone. Often and on, the outbreak of diseases is as a result of not maintaining a clean environment for healthy living.

Cleaning and beautifying the environment go a long way to prevent diseases, save cost as well as adding a touch of beauty to the environment.

Since a healthy living is associated with upholding a clean and healthy environment, is it not wise to take the responsibility of ensuring that the environment is made safe and clean?
