Contrasting Characteristics

It suddenly came to me when I was taking a nice warm bath. I thought and I knew that the us Filipinos are very hygienic people, in fact we are one of the most hygienic people in the world(other than the Japanese). But are we only supposed to be clean with ourselves? Shouldn't we also be clean with our environment? Why do we only limit ourselves to self cleanliness?

I believe that we could do more than being hygienic. I know that I did my share of pollution, I threw small amounts of thrash here and there but that was before I thought about the way it might affect the environment for the next generation. When I learned about how much it may affect the environment, I started throwing my trash in the right place. There is always a right place for everything, even for trash. think about it, what would happen to the environment if you keep throwing trash anywhere you want. It is a slow process of killing the environment for the next generation. I know its not a simple task but it must have effort from our part. There is this shot sign I read "MALIIT NA BASURA, IBULSA MUNA." and I have been following it since I read it about 2-3 years ago. It is quite easy, you put the small trash in your pocket or bag and when you get home or to any place that has a garbage can you can throw away. A simple task but if everybody does it, it will save alot of environment for the future generation.
