Getting Dirty
Garbage collection within our estate is one of the activities I am mostly involved in. Although the work is termed dirty by most of my peers, it is my concern to keep the environment and surroundings clean and reduce contamination and pollution levels. The work is termed dirty since most people do not know the waste to dispose of or do not know of waste segregation, which is important in controlling environmental pollution and reducing contamination by reducing low amounts of waste to the environment (Wah and Osman 4). My work starts by segregating the waste disposed of by people within our estate, then removing the waste for the qualified people to collect and dispose of. The work of waste isolation and segregation is dirt; however, I feel it is more important since it reduces environmental pollution and contamination.
The work is important as it results in a clean environment and conducive surroundings within the estate. Emotionally, the activity gives me a sense of caring for our neighbors for working towards a common conducive environment, which is ideal for a stay with little or no pollution. People around me have feelings of happiness, which they acquire by living a healthy life. The work also gives me the feeling of compassion, which facilitates building a free and healthy environment that is conducive for stay. The work provides a chance for other people to understand the importance of waste segregation during waste disposal. The activity has helped many people around my residence have started practicing segregation, which is ideal for acquiring a clean environment and reducing pollution levels in our surroundings.
