'Bhutan Is an Open Bin'

Source:google
With this statement, I would like to say few things on the common happenings. Perhaps, better called is as 'the most talked issues of the day'.

Well, it's good to see our government and concern agencies taking responsible role to keep our environment clean and green through different programs/outlets/initiatives but still we can see so many lapses in the mind and the heart of our citizen.

What more do we expect than these from the concern agencies? who is already doing their best job to preserve better environment?

I'm more confused to know now - why our people are so much carefree and reluctant in dumping their own waste properly or to the right place; - even after talking so much on waste management, its ill effects, health impacts and environment pollution.

Now at this time we cannot simply keep or postpone things like before. Since, the number of people living on this planet is increasing so fast.  Even after having learned so much, we’re still not yet prepare for it. We’re still waiting someone to literary guide us. And that is what I call it – "Bhutan possessing an open bin everywhere".

The only fact I know behind Bhutanese individual is that we're so much bother-less, careless, carefree and indeed expect things to happen rather than making things to happen.  
   
Perhaps, with the advancement in technologies, thinking capacity of each individual, we need to be wiser human-beings and more sensible than our ancestor but today what we all could see around is happening just vice-versa.

Here the point is so clear that we need to be more mindful about our own responsibilities, if we don't want our environment dirty and polluted. Honestly, we can't count the number of unwanted plastics, papers, bottles, tin and clothes that are going in wrong places each second from the hands of our individuals. 

Of-late, I heard many tourists who visited our country was not as impressed as much as what is written about Bhutan - The Land where GNH is considered as the main concept of living a life. These days what I can see around is all the land is filled with unwanted waste. So, literally Bhutan is an open bin for everyone. 

Truly, how many of us have left the mobile rechargeable cards, plastics and other unwanted waste in the same shop when the purpose is over?  

The dustbin placed gets destroyed over night or simply disappears; waste control pluck-card would miss its daylight chance. Is this thing determining our people? As a result of the fact, I could see our mother earth is worsening day by day.

If we decide to wait for the better change let’s not wait the sun to set below its horizon. Let’s not wait someone to say 'dirty environment leads to dirty mind'. At the same time if we don't care about our individual waste we won’t be able to pass down healthy environment to our younger generation. 

Today, saddest things prevailing around is individual being so less responsive. We also have well written 'rules and regulations' in place that hardly works/functions. Therefore, if this action continues till next day, we don't need anyone to destroy our own environment.

  1. Everything is well documented in paper but sadly there is nobody to enforce the written rules. It will soon be the food for silverfishes.

Golden Words Of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

King Jigme Singye Wangchuck "...in particular, speaking for myself; my sorrow in having lost my own father is indeed very great. What is more the country has lost a king whose kind has till now never been known..."                                                                ( Royal proclamation to the people of Bhutan, July 26, 1972)                                      "...as far as you, my people, are concerned, you should not adopt the attitude that whatever is required to be done for your welfare will be done entirely by the government.

The Story of Malika Chand.

There lived a schoolteacher named Malika Chand. She loved teaching and treated her students as she would, her own children. Nurturing their potential with great kindness. Her perennial motto was, 'Your,  I can is more important than your,  IQ .' She was known throughout her community as a person who lived to give. Who selflessly served anyone in need? Sadly, her beloved school, which had stood as a silent witness to the delightful progress of generations of children, succumbed to the flames of a fire set by an arsonist one night. All those in the community felt this great loss. But as time passed by, their anger gave way to apathy and they resigned themselves to the fact that their children would be without a school. "What about Malika?"   "She was different, an eternal optimist if there ever was one. Unlike everyone around her, she perceived opportunity in what had happened. She told all the parents that every setback offers an equivalent benefit ...
