No longer shall we be looking up and getting a glance of our sun …but mountains of plastic. In this photo, the message I’m trying to convey is, the fact that if we keep on living by our selfish ways, sooner or later we won’t be able to look around us and appreciate our beautiful and natural surroundings. Instead we will be living in our own plastic waste. This degrading plastic fragment was found on a local beach one of the millions which litters our beaches … homes to marine organisms.

A lot of people waste magical moments by taking photos which they can then post on the media to say ‘I was there’. Just because we can capture the moment doesn’t mean that it is the best thing to do. The opportunity to stop and appreciate the moment is frequently missed. Think about the meaning of the moment. Value it with the heart and the eyes, and not through a lens. Don’t let capturing the moment stop you from living it!

Most of the decorations were created using recycled materials such as this happy snowman which was made out of used tyres.

Enjoying a picnic in a public park and yet surrounded by litter. Is it so difficult to enjoy a picnic in the open air? Dumping litter onto the ground not only is an eyesore but also threatens wildlife. Littering also contributes to water pollution and costs the country money. Litter can also block drain pipes leading to more flooding. Furthermore, litter is also unhygienic and can lead to illness. The presence of litter indicates lack of respect for the other people living in the community. Why should we pay taxes to employ workers to clean our litter when we can all do our mite to deposit our litter in provided bins or take it home with us? Does it have to cost us so much effort and money to keep our country clean?
