Rubbish is not rubbish.

Hundred of years ago the Earth was not like today. A bright shining sphere, balancing in the boundless space, was a multicolored flower, painted in clean, vivid hues. Once, an evil mechanism of time was turned on by humanity and the look of our beloved planet had totally changed: a grayish senile ball, crying for help.

What we have done is simply clear: we have turned the Earth into one big dump. Thousands of cities all over the world have tasted one inescapable dish – litter. Half-used bottles, cigarettes, paper pieces, plastic packs and pockets – our streets are drowning in rubbish! And we… We just don’t care about it, though this problem is taking the wheel rapidly, being extremely important nowadays, since it has very deplorable consequences and results. These consequences are both: holistic (Here I mean a thrilling fact that we could loose such an abstract notion as beauty) and worldly, as the problem of litter is closely connected with health, particularly diseases. If you are still motionless and don’t see the danger you are not a living organism, you are a robot! I’m a human and I do realise a sin, that was once committed by people. That is why I’m bringing up this issue. We have to atone our sin and solve the problem of rubbish. Stating it, I want to focus your attention on recycling. I think that this is a possible and the most effective way to escape this danger. This technology is widely used nowadays. However, it needs to be more upgraded and launched in some countries. This, to my mind, will reduce the level of the filth veil. The next step is organizing environmental programs: for example pupils, students and even workers of some organizations can clean streets of their city once a month or more. We could increase the number of dustbins and other special places for litter at the streets, we could establish some kind of fines for those people who will leave litter about the streets. We could do much! But the difficulty, we have to overcome, is a man and his personality. We should teach people to appreciate cleanness and love their planet: every square of the pavement, every corner of the street, every house – everything! The problem of litter traces its roots back to the human’s heart and to his attitude to the world, he live in. So, the best solution is bringing up a mentally-mature person who will not poison his world.

Doing that, we will revive our planet. But it will be only if we do something. If not – the Earth will die. No, I’m not a member of Greenpeace, I just want to live without rubbish, without filth because we have enough of it in the cold modern society.
