Hello Local Guides!
I hope everybody is well.
This is my last post in 2020 and In the beginning of the 2021 I host a Meet-up.
We are currently going through a major climate crisis. Environmental, economic and social climate change continues to play a huge role on us. So we have to think now or else our very existence is in danger.
The current climate crisis is due to the fact that we are constantly polluting the environment in various ways. Among the many causes of environmental pollution, water pollution or river pollution is the most important.
"According to a United Nations report, about 800 species of Marine Animals are infected with Marine-Ship waste each year, and 80 percent of these are plastic wastes.
And these plastics enter our body in different ways from the stomach of the fish, resulting in various major diseases such as Cancer, Kydni Damage, etc."
Plastics play a major role in river pollution in Bangladesh. Since plastics are not easily degraded, they go down the river and take up space. As a result, the water level of the river is increasing, the navigability of the river is decreasing, and it is collapsing economically, so immediate action should be taken.
So I have decided that, on 01.01.2021 from 08:00 am to 05pm all the local guides in and around Barishal will Meet-up on the river pollution awareness campaign. We will take a motorized boat from Kirtankhola River to Meghna River and we will stop at at Meghnar Char, we will not throw dirt on the way and if we see any dirt in the river we will pick it up in the boat and throw it at the specified place.
What we will do in this Meet-up?
-
To make everyone aware about environmental pollution.
-
How people are being harmed by River pollution.
-
How to prevent River pollution.
-
Which places are locating near the River on Google Maps to keep them up-to-date.
-
In addition to all the above activities there will be some entertainment.
I hope that all of you will help the country and the people by participating in this service initiative.
Obviously everyone has to follow all kinds of hygiene rules in the COVIT19 situation.
