Environmental Action of Local Guides

A Small Step for the Environment, A Special Recognition from UNICEF!

Today, World Environment Day, I’m incredibly happy to share about an important campaign I participated in on May 28, 2025.

As a proud member of Local Guides Bangla, along with Faysal Bhai and @sohelahmedsujon , I took part in a youth-led cleanliness and recycling drive.


This collective effort by our young generation to protect the environment was truly remarkable and impactful. I was especially delighted to join this campaign, as it served as a crucial platform for combating Plastic Pollution and safeguarding our Environment.

We Local Guides don’t just contribute information to Google Maps; we make significant contributions, both virtually and physically, to keep our planet clean. During this campaign, we located plastic recycling points and updated their information on Google Maps. When writing reviews for businesses or establishments, we always make sure to mention their awareness of dustbin management and their role in environmental protection. Personally, in every review I write, I include details about cleanliness and pay special attention to important aspects like accessibility and waste bins. This is a part of our responsibility as Local Guides.

I’m truly honored that UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) has recognized our efforts by presenting me with a certificate. This recognition is not just a piece of paper; it reaffirms my commitment to environmental protection and strengthens my dream of a positive change for the future. As a Local Guide, I’m always striving to bring about positive change in my community and contribute to raising environmental awareness, and this achievement is a valuable reflection of that dedication.

This special recognition further inspires me to continue working towards fostering environmental consciousness and contributing to building a greener tomorrow. Every small step is important, and through collective efforts, we can make our planet more beautiful and livable.

Thank you, UNICEF Bangladesh, UNV Bangladesh & Local Guides Connect, for this honor and inspiration! On this World Environment Day, let’s all work together to keep our environment clean and protect it. Our collective effort is essential for the health of our planet. Let’s say no to plastic, let’s go with plastic.
Let’s choose environmentally friendly alternatives.

I always help with accurate information about cleanliness and even take pictures of the dustbins and provide them for review. Don’t forget to note accessibility.

Hi @KhokonSharker

Thank you so much for sharing this truly inspiring initiative! It’s genuinely heartwarming to see how your community is coming together with such dedication and unity to protect and preserve our planet. Small efforts like these, when combined, create a powerful impact for a cleaner and healthier environment.

I especially appreciate your thoughtful habit of mentioning cleanliness in every Google Maps review you post. This not only raises awareness among visitors but also encourages local businesses and individuals to maintain higher standards of hygiene and care for their surroundings. It’s these mindful actions that inspire others to follow suit and contribute positively.

Your commitment to spreading awareness and fostering a culture of cleanliness is commendable and vital for sustainable community development. Please keep up the fantastic work—your efforts are making a real difference and motivating many others to take responsibility for our environment. Together, we can build a cleaner, greener future for generations to come!

Thank you once again for being such a positive force in your community

Thank you very much for the inspiration and encouragement, @ShafiulB Bhai.

You are right, it is our moral responsibility. Thanks @Aslam_hossain Bhai.

ধন্যবাদ ভাইয়া আপনাকে, আপনার জন্যই প্রোগ্রামটায় এটেন্ড করা হয়েছিল। অনেক কিছু শিখতে পেরেছি এবং যতক্ষণ ছিলাম ততক্ষণ’ই এনজয় করেছি।

ঐ দিনের পর থেকে আমি যথাসম্ভব প্লাস্টিক বর্জন করার চেষ্টা করেছি। আগে নিজে সচেতন হই এরপর অন্যকে সচেতন করি।
