How to Keep our Town Clean

Cleanliness is next to godliness. We must give serious thought to this golden truth. A neat and clean environment has a cheerful effect, it is a sure sign of civilization. Knowledge is a great blessing of Allah. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to receive an education. As school-going boys and girls, it is our responsibility to keep our town clean. We ought to develop a civic sense. We should not throw fruit and vegetable peels all over the street. A banana or melon peel thrown carelessly on the road can cause a fracture or even death, plastic, polythene, and wooden items should not be thrown into main holes. A choked gutter spreads filth and stench all disease and sanitation. We can politely prevent one another problems as it causes disease and in sanitation. We can politely prevent one another from spitting on floors. We should not throw hard things or stones at toilers. We should not be shy about taking a broom and sweeping the littered portion of the street in front of our door. We should take care of trees, plants and flower beds in a park. If we happen to pass by an unattended running water tap, we should stop and close it. As citizens, we should be vigilant and report to the municipality if its staff neglects its duty. We can also add to cleanliness if we sprinkle water on our portion of the road. Dust and pollution can be effectively controlled if every one of us lends a helping hand. God loves people who practice purity and cleanliness.
