Dirty Kathmandu

Reduce, Re-use and Recycle ; we have heard it over and over again but do we put it to action? often we see, we hear but we don't follow. It has never been our priority to keep the city we live in clean or may be we're just tired of trying to keep it clean. The attitude "this is just the way it is and no matter what you do, nothing is going to change."Perevailsh all of us & its second nature for us to point the finger at someone else. Our government which keeps changing like unpredictable weather, hasn't been able to keep the city clean too. Every now and then, garbage's can be seen all over the city piling up because the dumping site popular keeps blocking the way. Keeping Kathmandu clean is not just the governments job but ours too. Ultimately it is us who live in this city. WE might overlook the preaching about reducings recycling and reusing but it does help reduce the amount of garbage coming out. the first image of Kathmanud that greets an outsider as soon as they exit Tribhuwan International Airport is just plain embarrasing. Instead of the scenic Shangri-la what greets them is the stinking Bagmati river unplanned having and bus stops, unruly micros and not so green trees and grass. Is this the image we want to portray? Lets not just depand on others to keep our city clean, lets start cleaning it else, it starts from you, your house and then it moves out to the society. If we are to use our civic sense, more, a cleaner kathmanduin inevitable.
