Let us keep our tourist places clean and beautiful 


 Recently I traveled to Chickballapur. Place is calm and quiet, away from stressful city life. But I was not happy,  as everywhere there were plastic cover, plastic bottles etc thrown by travellers. 

Instead of throwing the waste everywhere , collect your trash in a plastic bag and later put it in the nearby trash bin or trash bin of your house.

By doing this, places will be clean and look beautiful. We are responsible for our trash.

While traveling, carry steel water bottles, some snacks, cloth napkin and one carry bag to put all the trash. 

Places will lose their charm if they are kept dirty. 

In countries like Singapore, USA, if people litter they are fined. Those countries are clean and beautiful. 

Small things make big difference.
