Keeping schools clean
DEAR EDITOR,
The Environmental Community Health Organization (Echo) is encouraging its members in all echo- clubs, coaches and volunteers, in all areas, in schools to ensure the health of their surroundings at home and school. Their yards should be free from garbage and should be kept in a clean and tidy manner at all times.
Today’s population is increasing and every day people are destroying the natural environment. Scientists predict that within the next 50 years or so, global warming will cause the earth to increase in temperature which will in turn cause the earth to experience more hurricanes, droughts, floods and many more climate changes.
However, all of this could be avoided if we simply reduce the amount of air pollution, reuse and recycle everyday products in order to keep our environment clean. Here are some ways in which we have been destroying the environment:
a.) We have been carelessly throwing litter all over the place. This litter when decomposed releases poisonous gases which can lower the quality of the air we breathe. This can lead to many diseases like asthma which lowers the quality of life.
b.) The environment can be a learning environment for us and future generations. If we just litter all around the place we will never be able to regain what we have lost. What can we do?
Dispose all litter in a responsible way. Do not throw garbage all over the environment and always use the bin at all times.
