Every evening I walk several blocks to my gym in my locality carrying a recycle bag to pick up trash. It’s pathetic that our citizens throw their trash in the streets. This problem does not require a high-tech, expensive solution. It’s a matter of educating the public. It’s amazing how many unsightly cans, wrappers and bottles you can pick up with little or no extra
effort.

I suggest that we can start by educating and give more importance to children in their schools. Tell them what happens to the litter they throw in the streets. Even by making more the use of commercials on television and in other social media. I suggest showing people not to litter and show them more the results from littering, at some point; they will start implementing what they saw on television.
