Good day everyone, welcome to my blog. We have been having challenges with electricity for a month now, there is no electricity. That's why I couldn't post my activity on time. Today I visited a town called Akowonjo in Oyo state, I visited a friend who lives in this locality, as I was approaching his house, I saw a road littered with different wastes , I picked up the refuse and packed it in a black garbage bag, which I disposed off in a refuse bin.
When waste is not properly collected and disposed of, it leads to unsanitary conditions that pose serious environmental and health hazards. Such conditions can: - Become breeding grounds for disease-causing agents. It can also lead to the outbreaks of diseases like cholera, diarrhoea, malaria, tetanus, typhoid, yellow fever, it can also lead to faecal contamination of hands, food, and water, increasing the risk of diseases transmitted through the fecal-oral route. Indiscriminate dumping of refuse is a major cause of water and land pollution, drainage blockage, flooding, and damage to infrastructure.
What surprised me was a public notice on farmland under the threat of indiscriminate refuse disposal with a warning to discourage further abuse of the space. It was a really funny experience.
These pictures show how I carried out my cleaning for the day.
Let's keep our environment clean and safe by disposing of waste responsibly.
As my blog continues to grow, please continue to support and engage me.
