Junior Correspondent: Don’t ignore signs, dispose your garbage correctly

I love going to the Marina beach and spend time with my family but it saddens me to see the garbage that piles up on the beach. We saw during the December floods how the sea brought forth the garbage that the city’s waterways had deposited in it on the shores. That is a sign. 

Also, we have to take what’s happening to Delhi’s air as a warning. I read in the newspapers about how the country’s capital has become a gas chamber of sorts, with people struggling to breathe. If we are not careful, our city might meet the same fate.

At home, we segregate the garbage. Apart from that, I have a dustbin at home and also in the corridor outisde the flat, where I place all the waste that’s littered around. Like Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” I wish everyone reads the warning signs and changes the way they dispose the garbage.
