Drop it where it belongs
Drop it where it belongs.
The Ministry of Environment is gearing up its campaign on
television with an advertisement accompanied by a song.
The song ends with a melodious jingle called “drop it
where it belongs” with the letters shrinking and going
inside the dustbin. Environment is the surroundings such
as the roads, lanes, grounds, private or government
housing estates. Singapore is the world’s cleanest city and
it is important that every citizen tries to maintain the
record. We should make sure that all places are kept
clean and tidy.
Littering on roads, lanes, playgrounds or anywhere would
make the places dirty. The drains should remain clean
without being clogged up with waste materials or stagnant
water as these are the ideal breeding grounds for
mosquitoes and other flies. Though the Ministry of
Environment and the Community Centers arrange to
maintain the housing blocks clean and tidy, it is the duty of
every citizen to see that these places are not polluted by
the rubbish thrown indiscriminately. That is why dustbins
are provided in every nook and corner for us to throw or
drop it where it belongs.
The clean environment should start from our houses itself.
The leftover foodstuffs, other wastes and rubbish should
be put in a plastic bag, tied and disposed through chutes.
We can see the Ministry of Environment garbage trucks
collecting these wastes daily. Since we have been
provided with so many facilities, we should try our best to
keep the city clean.
Our Government periodically launches “clean
environment” campaigns to make every citizen aware of
the value of a dust-free, pollution-free, clean, neat and tidy
country. Strict measures, such as heavy fines for littering
may achieve this purpose. But it is the citizens who are
reminded of their responsibility to keep a pollution-free
environment for a healthy and comfortable lifestyle in
Singapore.
