Clean & Green #WordlessWednesday

I was waiting in traffic when I saw this wall with the message by the Pune Municipal Council exhorting the citizens to plant more trees .

The rest of the message said that green is clean.

But I’m quite sure they didn’t mean that plants should grow wild out of a wall that’s holding up a Railway track . Nor does this look like a particularly clean and green place.

Does it ?

I’m beginning to despair that even a basic task like keeping something clean is beyond the scope of ordinary people .

As for those wonderful people who man our Government departments, expecting them to do their work is a Utopian dream.

Has the Government’s Clean Green Campaign been successful in your part of the country?

I haven’t seen a sign of it , least of all in. Government related enterprise .

      Exactly and the sad thing is that Indians keep their own homes spotless !

    People have to make that change on their own, but it is good to lead by example. The government putting signs up is a bit of a joke (not funny, either) in my view. This is far from leading by example.

      Especially these signs that are decidedly ugly !

    Here in the United States, we mostly do local efforts at planting new trees and maintaining the trees that we’ve already planted. I was trained to be a tree steward, so that I can have the training necessary for tree maintenance.

      That’s commendable indeed ! Our tree planting may be private but we need permission to cut a tree
