Woow it's has been a month since any write up
was posted and we apologise for that. The desire to grow and expand expertise
surprisingly takes more time and strength than one ever imagines. For this we
apologise again.
"Why
did he do that?" I asked myself this question as I sat close to a man who
felt it was proper to dispose his gala wrapper through the bus window, he must
have told himself the wind would do the rest. The feeling I had on the bus is
the same feeling I get when I see people dispose their body waste in any corner that seems
comfortable for urination and excretion. Meeting and seeing people who do this daily make
me get upset and very sad. Why ? It is simply because they are the same
people who would walk by a heap of waste and complain that it is an eyesore as
well as raise their voices declaring that their pathways stinks and cannot be
walked upon without painting their shoe sole with faeces. Unconsciously these
people who have the PDH syndrome (poor disposal habit) believe they really do
not have any influence on the generation of dirt, heaps of faeces and the stink that brews daily. Well they do!
We
would agree that these eyesores are not pleasing to the environment and likewise
our health but if we do not change the way we dispose our waste( paper, plastic and
the human waste), these eyesores that has gradually become a culture for some
people would become a welcomed stay as long as you look the other way. Although it
is said that old habits die hard, but the truth is they still die
gradually coupled with intention. New habits that could be taken up are:
· When you buy anything from hawkers in traffic jams aka hold up ,
after consumption, hold it in your hand or put in it in your bag and dispose in
a bin when you get off the bus. DO NOT DISPOSE IN THE BUS OR THROUGH THE WINDOW.
· If your urine and excretion signals are
raging, increase your pace to your destination or ask for a public toilet
around. Most filling stations have toilet for the public.
· When disposing your house hold waste, pour it
directly into the large bins provided at central locations. if these bins are
full, dispose waste into a plastic/nylon bag, tie it tightly to prevent the
spread of germs and place it close to the large bins.
· Correct anyone who is about to display PDH
syndrome or has already displayed it. DO NOT CORRECT OR EDUCATE THEM
AGGRESSIVELY.
The gradual and consistent application of these four
tips would go a long way to improve our disposal habits and reduce
eyesores. And always remember that you
influence your environment every day, therefore make sure you ....give a hoot
and dont pollute.
I found this write up funny and very interesting, people do not appreciate human body waste in heaps.... If i see one more penis
