Greetings to the honorable members of this community.
I have gone through the community posts and learned from other people's work which motivated me to try something different outside the normal routine of just cleaning the house.
So today, I went out of my way to keep our street clean. Knowing the importance of staying in a neat environment I took it upon myself to sweep and pack waste around our surroundings.
My name is Chidimma with the user name @chidimma17.
While cleaning I discovered that, so far, we've neglected the external environment and there is accumulated waste such as nylons, papers, tins, and some other wastes that can cause harm to us and the environment.
Most times after heavy rain, flood sweeps all these harmful substances into the water bodies which causes harm to the aquatic animals and disruption of the ecosystem.
But if we can maintain physical and environmental hygiene we can protect ourselves and our external environment.
We should also learn about the proper disposal of waste and the impact on human life
I also went as far as washing the gutter just behind our fence
IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING YOUR ENVIRONMENT CLEAN
It helps to reduce the spread of diseases such as cholera, typhoid, measles, polio, etc
It improves the quality of air we breathe in. Environmental pollution can cause lung diseases
It reduces the number of hospital visits
Clearing stagnant water from our home reduces the breeding of mosquitoes which also protects us from having malaria. Malaria is caused by female Anopheles mosquito
CONCLUSION
I was impressed with the outcome of my job, cause everywhere was sparkling clean
Going forward this general cleaning will be done once or twice a month and hopefully, other people from the neighborhood will the importance and emulate me.
I will also advocate the need to keep the environment clean both physically and online.
Let's keep the good work going
