Hope She Won’t Forget to Pick up the Garbage

She shows me these pics

and I see that people have a heart to leave their footprints ( in the form of litter ) to such serene, beautiful places.

When she treks, there too she picks up as much garbage as she can and then burns it. You can see the picture.

She always admonishes me for using plastic bags. She, often tells the shopkeeper to hand us down the things in our bare hands, if I have forgotten the grocery bag. Almost always she makes sure that I have a bag, if we went out to get the vegetables.

She is participating in a contest held by Ok Tata Bye Bye. I wish that she wins, and won’t forget to do her bit for the environment.

  2. HI Alka,

    Your friend indeed is a rare gem. My salutations on her dedication to a cleaner environment.

    My best wishes on all her endaevours.

  3. Sorry Alka, I did not know Mridula is your sis. Then there is all the reasons for you to be proud of her.

  4. Bravo.

    We recently gave our friends grocery bags (made from recycled tires) as gifts and it is amazing how much plastic we can stop using if we carry them around.

    Btw, visit goonj.info to read related efforts.

  5. Great work. I remember when we were in college and whenever we go for trekking we used to get not only our trash but the other trash too left by some not so-freindly nature persona.

    BTW I read your money post too and instead of commenting just publish a hindi post.
