First off, I think it's necessary we all know the definition of Pollution.
According to Wikipedia, Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. ... Pollution can take the form of any substance (solid or Sewage)
Among the types of pollution that is; Air pollution · Water pollution · Noise pollution · Plastic pollution
As a resident of Lagos- the country's busiest state. It's disturbing to know that there's still the problem of environmental pollution in these present times.
Although, environmental pollution can be caused by natural happenings such as volcanic activity, dust and wildfires, biological decay, et cetera, there's still the human factors contributing to this effect.
Around 2003, Since the 'Operation Keep Lagos Clean' era, there have being a significant down leap in maintenance of Lagos road. Especially the surburb part of the city. It's very disheartening I tell you.
First thing first, I strongly believe that a sanitation schedule should be set. Recently, a friend of mine who schools in the east told me how the sit at home and clean is strongly adhered to there, if you're found strolling on the streets during clean up time, you'd be whisked away to any nearby station. I found it surprising that none of these exists here, even in the surburb part of Lagos.
Lastly, I'd suggest more active recycling centers should be set up as this will ensure proper disposal and utilization of environmental waste.
