Text : Keeping our environment clean and safe
Every normal human being wants to grow, be healthy and live
long. Very often when we pray, we ask for long life and prosperity. It is
no use merely praying for long life and prosperity without doing
anything ourselves to bring these about. It is often said that God helps
those who help themselves. We can help ourselves in many ways. For
example, if we want to grow and develop well, then we have to eat the
right kinds of foods, observe good eating habits, do a lot of exercise
and observe good personal hygiene.
We know that many people die early through disease. Nobody
likes to catch a disease because if we do, we spend lot of money to cure
it and, if we are not lucky, we may die. Diseases are caused by bacteria
commonly called germs. There are different kinds of germs and each
one causes a different kind of disease. Germs are dangerous tiny
creatures which we cannot see with our naked eyes; we need a
microscope to see them.
Germs live in dirty places, so if we want to be healthy, we should avoid
dirty things and places. This is why it is necessary to eat clean food,
wash our hands clean before eating, and wash fruits before eating
them. It is also essential to wash our hands after visiting the toilet.
But germs do not live in dirty places in homes alone, they can be
found in places outside the home: in the playground, in the garden, in
drains, in open places, in standing water and in the rivers and streams
nearby. This is why we should keep our environment clean and safe.
