Environmental consciousness begins at home

Roads with green trees on either sides, refreshing breeze blowing on to your face, serene drives to work in the mornings without smoke around you ,beautiful and immaculate sea shore, office canteens without traces of coffee cup marks , apartment complexes without plastic stuffed garbage bags lying around - are these all so difficult to have in our country ? Environmental pollution is not only about global warming, ozone depletion, but also is about our own surroundings. If each of us can think once about the ugliness and damages brought on to our environment by the smallest things we do and re-do , I am sure we would feel guilty enought to stop them. My office commuation service takes us through a big mountains (literally mountains!) of trash that have been dumped since a long long time and we guys just cant stop cursing the people doing it. I say , think about the problem you might be creating by spitting/attaending nature calls on a public footpath - its no better than the former. Environmental awareness is not worrying about oil spills or nuclear wastes , but also about our small day to day habits that add to the existing pollution.
