Think Before You Litter Day

               

A wise man once said a clean man in a dirty environment is a dirty man, hence we have implemented think before you litter which  is a cautious campaign that aims to educate people about the danger of littering.It also aims to convince people to stop littering in order to keep the environment clean.

the first think before you litter day was hosted at Joubert park, as the park was recognized as the most sordid park in Johannesburg.Therefore, we took initiative to clean the park create and also to create awareness.

We also spoke to the cleaners about how do they feel about littering Ms Masonto, one of the EPWP said that they cannot control them and also the dustbins are not helping, to them they are invincible.
