Image edited onCanva
Hello to everyone here in this great community called STEEM FOR BETTER I welcome you to yet another great contest that has been organized by @klen.civil which has been titled "Environmental hygiene". It is vital to take good care of our environment at all times. cleaning our environments protects us from global warming, we all know how bad global warming can be, making the temperature of our environment unfriendly, causing so much harm to our environment but there is a remedy. by cleaning our environment, maintaining a good hygiene activity we are rest assured to be saved from global warming effect. there are a few factors to consider to manage waste in other to make sure our environment maintains proper hygiene which we all know as the 4RS and they are Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and also Recover. I will be explaining these four factors in detail which when being put to use will help us to maintain good environmental hygiene.
- REDUCE
This is an aspect whereby the various shopping malls, eateries, fast food joints, and stores are expected to reduce the number of one-time-use items such as rapping sheets, leather and so on this will help reduce dirt in our environment, because when those things are been thrown on the streets it might end up in the sea or the water bodies and as such affects the living organisms living in the water so it is expected that we reduce the one-time use items to reduce dirt in our environment.
- REUSE
This is the ability in which we are expected to reuse those items we feel are no longer important, this also helps to maintain good environmental hygiene to a great extent. reusing items helps to keep the environment clean and free from dirt. with this we are sure of a nice and neat environment, when everybody decides to embrace this system we rest assured of a safe environment to live in.
- RECYCLE
This is another aspect of protecting our environment and managing waste, we are expected to recycle cans, bottles, and plastic in other to keep our environment clean as much as we long for a good and clean environment. These are some items containers that I decided to recycle and make judicious use of it rather than throwing them out on the street making the environment unkept. with this attitude, I rest assured of a clean environment in my society.
- RECOVER

This is the collecting of refuse on the street, this helps a great deal in protecting my environment, making sure that all illegal dumping is avoided at all costs. as seen in the above image, I have inculcated it as a habit to collect illegal dumping and create a perfect spot for all refuse in the environment
I also went as far as clearing the drainage area in other to allow a good water passage, this will help for a good water flow, clearing the dirt on the water will allow a quick flow of water from the house to the drainage spot.
CONCLUSION

In as much as we want to keep our environment clean, we have to take note of the 4RS. of waste management to maintain a good and hygienic environment. it did not stop there, it also helps to protect our environment from global warming.
