WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE TO PARTICIPARE UP IN A CAMPAIGN

For me, it's more than just a clean up. It's a way to be a good person. we will be interacting with many people and experiencing more.
Rubbish doesn't appear in the forest by itself. It is taken there by people who don't care, and I'm sure they are actually a minority. The majority of people are good, but when a good, caring, ethical and tidy person walks through a forest, he or she leaves behind as few traces as possible. That's why rubbish - a sign of of ignorance, stupidity and arrogance - often dominates the landscape and creates an impression that these arrogant, littering people are dominating in the society and the thing they do is somehow normal.
Anyway, they are not a majority. The cleanup action is a way to prove it, it's a way for the good people to come out and show that they exist, they care, they are ready to change things into better, and there are really many of them. So, besides the cleaner landscapes you also get more optimism and courage in the society. It links the local communities, gives active and caring people a chance to meet each other and keep on doing something good also after the cleanup.
Moreso, a cleanup is something very universal. Despite any cultural, linguistic, religious or other differences a clean environment without rubbish is very appreciated. So, it's a great possibility also for different communities in one country to find some common goal and work together for that, as well as a way to find more goals that everybody agrees with.
So, a successful cleanup is not only a way to clean up the environment, to make your country a more beautiful place to live and visit, but it's also a way for the good people to show that they exist and they care, and it's a favour for the society. 
To start this process, there must be a good, motivated, friendly and active team of organisers. You are the one who starts, shapes and leads this historical process in your country. Yes, you. And you're not alone - there are people worried about the same problems and resolving them in the whole country. They are with you. 



WHY WE CLEAN UP



Throughout the last year, I often hear people speak about how horrible it is that people litter, and how frustrating it is to have to clean up after them. Though I understand the frustration, it got me thinking about WHY we clean up.

There are certainly those who see their task as one of fighting litter, but I've been even more inspired by those who feel that they are simply doing what feels right, and banding together with others who share their conviction in the process.
  
Neil Bailey (Initiator of Clean Nova Scotia), has shown us that there are countless people, from every culture, creed and place, who are excited to connect their efforts into something inspiring, and fulfilling.

So until we run out of them, anger seems to be a waste of time, for me. Why fight with a litterer when there are so many people who want to be part of the solution? Why not spend our days growing a movement of people who care deeply for the place they call home, taking simple actions to improve our collective well-being?


I would rather spend my time working hard and being inspired than slogging on through frustration.
Much love and respect to all those who have taken part in cleanups around the world, in service of a better tomorrow. Much work ahead, so we do well to nourish our souls!

KEEPING MY CITY CLEAN

The National University of Science and Technology part two journalism students planned to do a cleaning campaign in the city of Bulawayo. The event is going to be held at Egodini bus terminus on the 13th of March. Bulawayo "the city of kings"  is one of the biggest city in zimbabwe and we want to make it number one in terms of cleanliness. In partnership with Chicken slice, Environmental Management Agency (Bulawayo), Bulawayo City Council people are going to pick litter, donating bins and sweeping the streets.

In early January comrade Joseph Chinotimba who is a member of parliament carried out a clean up campaign at Mbare in Harare to demonstrate how the city council should improve in  cleaning the country especially when they concentrate on garbage removal. He used his official parliamentary vehicle to carry the garbage and urged other officials and MP's to follow suit. http://www.herald.co.zw/mbare-residents-hail-chinotimba/

As NUST students we were challenged to see an official doing this great work. This campaign will educate people on the dangers of littering both to health and environment. Garbage can cause diseases like cholera and malaria etc. I encourage other NUST students to partner with us in keeping our environment clean.

DON'T BE A LITTER BUG





Clean Street is a municipal street sweeping. The city councils work tirelessly with their members in keeping the country clean. A clean country can not be achieved without the citizens involved. Inorder for us to have our litter free country, citizens must engage with city council and Environmental Management Agency to keep a clean country. By engaging people have to keep litter where it belongs
