We started our walk on Sunday around 8 in the morning. We found a problem that includes throwing plastic bags and other unwanted garbage randomly here and there on the roads . To make our point more clear ,I would like to say that, the people don’t have the discipline to put the trash in a trash can and so they end up dumping it in the middle of the road. The fact is that there was another apartment coming up and beside that there was a school. We noticed that all the garbage was dumped between the apartment and the school. It would be very disgusting for the people who walk to school from our community and the other apartment. Besides, cows, crows, bugs, etc were feeding on it. Crows are also on the verge of getting endangered. Most of the garbage dumped was plastic wastes and plastic takes around 450 years to decompose. If this keeps continuing, it will affect the environment, the animals and us.
In front of our community, there was a garbage can right outside our community which was kept with the help of the Panchayat and the president of our community. So our community had already sorted the problem.
Mindsets that should be applied to solve the problem:
>Creative confidence: We need to have the determination to solve the issue
>Empathy: We need to be empathetic to the surroundings
>Optimism: We have to be positive in order to solve the issue
>Make it: —–
>Embrace ambiguity: It is not possible unless we get the help of the Panchayat
>Iterate: We have to do it in other places if the same issue takes place
>Learning from failure: We have to take failures positively.
