Please educate the public to keep the environment clean. One method is spot fines like in Singapore!

We really appreciate this initiative and it is timely needed .. if we want to have a long term solution to this issues please place enough bins in all our cities and towns and beeches.. this is good but we need to know the root of this problem if we educate our people to throw rubbish in the bins from our school kids we wouldn’t have this issue basically so we need to educate people and go and see some our cities and shop keepers and customers put all rubbish in the street and drainages and it is through education and discipline we can make a change people have to change their attitudes and manners let us all do this from our schools ,places of worship and other offices .. let us clean our ecology and environment from pollution ..it is not a magic to do this but we should do it gradually and the government must introduce some penalties for people who intentionally throw rubbish in public places in towns and cities . Let us have a national day to clearn Sri Lankan beeches, rivers and p

Hats off to these volunteers for doing something Sri Lankans rarely do for their environment. Usually more foreigners than locals engage in this kind of activities. However, the second picture shows people cutting tree branches and collecting them in plastic garbage bags. Hope they recycle these bags and only purpose of them is to to transport the tree trimming to a composting dump.

Good work, few suggestions in going forward, 1. Make a voluntary task force who gets appreciation letter 2. Include all students above AL and those in the University in this task force 3. Install CCTV at selected locations 4. Implement a fine system, if caught throwing garbage in prohibited areas , fine and must clean activity for a week. 5. Ensure that cleanup is done on regular basis. 6. Make a long term program to relocate those who have built houses near rail tracks. 7. Include life lessons in the education system and cleaning should be part of the system. Overall, this is a good initiative by President AKD.
