Garbage and our Clean city





















Our city has a very systematic and rigourous method of making it a real 'clean city'. I appreciate the Government for all their efforts. Look at the above city scenes.
But what I saw in the garbage cart is thought provoking. Almost all of what it had is thrown by the people living around. Most of it is bio-degradable too. A minor part is 'plastics and the like' which are non-bio-degradable.
What's the need to throw off all these degradable stuff ? Can the people themselves dispose them off? What ever little waste materials you have, I think, can be processed in their own campus (even if it is in a residential flat ). It's excellent as manure for the garden (for whatever plants ) you have. But you have to dispose off the non-degradables. Let that alone be collected by the cleaning agency.
{ Maybe, I am too silly and impractical to think this way. Do you think so ? )

City scenes




Today, I've three snaps for you to see (sorry for the poor lighting). Does it not feel like scenes from some TamilNadu town ?  Yes very much, I am sure.

But the scenes are from our Trivandrum City; a city which we call "Clean city, Green City".  Scenes from right in front of the (fish) market at Edapazhanji ! I am sorry, my camera don't have a volfactory sensor !  (Future cameras will certainly send you olfactory senses too ! )

Footpath shops are ok, I understand. But why do they keep them so dirty ? Can't these shop owners themselves clean their surroundings ?
