Dear Steemians,

Yesterday we made the decision to clean the rubbish from our riverside. We got a person who will do it for us with payment. I wanted to take a picture when the sun was going done. But unfortunately, the rubbish was in my background. But I decided to keep it as evidence.

I told you that We are going to Clean Rubbish From Our Riverside few weeks ago.

People just come and through the rubbish in the river. It is the first time any local people took initiative to clean them.

There were stairs. But it was covered by rubbish.

Last night, we were singing songs there with our new friend. He wrote some funny songs for us. It was nice time but we still need to clean these rubbish for a better environment. Yesterday we cleaned a dead animal and kept it under the ground. It was spreading bad smell.

Yesterday vs today

We are gathering the rubbish in the bottom and will give fire to vanish them. Still, a lot of rubbish in another side of the river but we will take initiative to clean them too.

When we were cleaning the rubbish, many local people were troughing rubbish. It is hard to create awareness without giving them alternatives.

I am also working to develop a project called "Dirty Sylhet" . The "Dirty Sylhet" began its journey in October 2017. We wanted to create evidence of uncollected rubbish around our city by taking pictures and related information. The main purpose of the evidence collection is to post on Dirty Sylhet facebook page and share it with local leaders, community volunteers and engage more people. We have seen many campaigns in our city with name "clean or green city" but still it was not working. The only city river Surma is about to die. So, I wanted to use the name "Dirty Sylhet" which was a negative campaign to bring something positive. This allowed us to show evidence people why we are saying our city dirty though it still a controversial issue which made our cause more engaged with general people. We are not successful to achieve our target. Still household and industrial waste are going to fill the river. The main cause of failure is to lack of awareness among family members and factory owners. Also, the miles are producing air pollution in our area which we could not stop. We are communicating with local councillors for effective steps and cooperate with us.

We have a mosque near the river and many houses.

The picture was taken my friend on last Friday. You can see a mosque and houses on the bank of river Surma. I will share some picture when we will complete cleaning. We are paying $6.25 to the person for cleaning all the rubbish and gather them in the bottom.
