Respect, litter and the environment

Madam – Respect, litter and the environment.

This is part of humankind, but from another point of view, this is not part of being a human being. Litter has brought forward no respect to the environment and to this town. How can a town be placed on a pedestal as the cleanest town, but the bigger picture is not taken into perspective? So many suburbs are left unseen to the bigger crowd.

Walk through the streets of any suburb in this town and you will see the mess that is really affecting the environment and what is not considered even as CLEAN and TIDY.

Arbor Park looks like a dump site, covered with torn refuse bags, plastic bags, carton boxes, wrappers and more. What a disaster suburb to live in. The community just don’t care what it really looks like and don’t even make an effort to cleanup the mess.

Oh, but I forget people create jobs for others. No way!! It is not just the duty of a municipal employee who picks up after your mess, you must also keep the environment clean. Use the bins provided, but that is even too much to do.

Walk down Allen Street and you will see the litter on the pavements, even next to the bins. What a disgrace! I don’t even want to think about the other areas in town, or what that looks like.

There was an article not so long ago about how long it takes for items to decompose. Who can we count on if we can’t count on the person causing this litter? It is not only the municipal workers’ responsibility to have a clean environment, it is yours also. Respect your environment, which is not so hard to do!
