Dear Editor, People engage in a lot of unhealthy practices that have adverse effects on our environment.
They are fond of dumping refuse indiscriminately, especially in our drains, and choke most of our gutters, contributing to floods in our communities.
Most houses do not have places of convenience and as a result, defecate at the beaches.
Our beaches have become an eyesore because of open defecation. People can’t use it as a place of relaxation and fun.
It is important for everyone to make a conscious effort to keep our environment clean so that diseases that come about as a result of unsanitary conditions can be minimised.
