Clean  State  Healthy  Citizens.
Do  you  know  what  is  `Clean  State  Healthy  Citizens`?  I  doubt  not  all  of  you  know.  Let  me  give  you  a  definition  about  it.  I  began  with  `Clean`,  the  meaning  is  free  from  dirt,  if  we  combine  it  with  `State`  it  make  a  great  sense  there.  An  organized  political  community  forming  part  of  a  country  is  a  federation  or  republic  that  is  free  from  dirt.  Simple  right?  How  about  `Healthy Citizens`?  the  definition  of  these  word  is  a  person  who  as  a  member  of  a  country,  that  is  `State`  either  by  birth  or  by  being  granted  such  rights  that  having  a  good  health.  Well?  That’s the  definition.
 `Clean  State  Healthy  Citizens`?  Do  you  think  you  are  in  a  healthy  condition?  Do  you  think  your  state  is  clean?  There  are  a  lot  of  things  happen  now,  as  the  pollution  bring  us  down.  We  can’t  be  like this!  We  need  to strive  for  cleanliness!  The  earth  need  our  help  to!  Do  you  hear  the  earth  shout  for  it?  Maybe  we  need  to  open  our  eyes  and  unplug  our  ears.  These  are  some  tips  for  it.
 First,  Air  and  water  pollution  has  long  been  a  concern  in  the  major  cities  but  our  concern  should  not  end  there.  Other  cities  and  even  small  towns  are  suffering  from  the  effects  of  pollution.  These  effects  and  restore  health  to  the  ecosystem  and  human  life.  The  term  air  pollution  is  used  quite  often,  but  what  does  it  actually   mean?  Basically,  it  can  be  defined  as  the  presence  of  chemicals  in the  atmosphere  in  concentrations  high  enough  to  effect  climate  and  harm  organisms  and  materials.
 As  a  citizens  we  have  pledge  to  keep  our  state  to  be  a  clean,  healthy,  safe  and  friendly  environment.  Where  are  those  promises?  How  about  the  students  in  the  school?  As  a  teacher,  they  need  to  control  and  teach  them  to  somehow  take  good  care  of  the  tables,  chairs  and  other  things  in  the  classrooms.  As  a  student,  they  also  need  to  obey  the  school  rules  and  learn  to  make  a  better  life  in  our  state.  We  all  have  our  duty  as  a  citizen.  If  the  things  are  broken  or  destroy  in  to  pieces  it  causes  the  environment  in  the  state,  think  about  the  trees  will  cut  down  to  make  those  things.  The  oxygen  will  became  decreases  every  second  we  cut  the  trees  down.  That’s  why  we  need   to  take  good  care  of  them,  to  prevent  the  insufficiency  of   materials  to  make  them.  
 Next,  do  you  notice  this  junk?  I  call  it  junk  mail,  I  know  it  important  but  do  you  know  how  much  trees  are  cut  down  to  make  the  junk  mail?  The junk  mail  delivered  to  your  address  alone  would  be  the  equivalent  of  1½ trees  –  which  adds  up  to  100  million  trees  every  year.  Some  of  our  citizens  not  well  use  with  the  junk  mail  after  read  it.  They  just  throw  it  away  on  the  ground  or  do  not  think  of  the  3R’s.  Instead  throw  it  away,  how  about  use  the  benefits  of  recycle  bins?  Make  the  effort  to  it!  Some  communities  are  starting  to  charge  fines  to  people  who  are  throwing  away  items  that  should  be  recycled.  And  if  your community  doesn't  pick  up  recyclables  (or  only  certain  ones)  you  can  usually  find someone  who  accepts  them.  Check  with  dry  cleaners,  supermarkets,  manufacturers,  your  local  public  works  department  and  civic  organizations  to  find  where  recycled  goods  can  be  dropped  off.
 We  still in  the  same  topic,  still about  papers.  Papers  are  all  over  the  earth.  Use  both  side  of  paper  is  a  good  idea!  If  you   print  out  a  document  you can't  use,  try  cutting  it  into  fourths  and  stack  them  next  to  your  computer  or  telephone.  They  make  the  perfect  size  for  quick  notes.  Put  some  on  your  night  stand  for  that  quick  reminder  to  yourself.  Or,  if you  do  a  lot  of  printing  from  your  computer  that  is  only  for  your  use,  use  the  second  side  of  obsolete  or imperfect  documents.  It  doesn't  matter  that  there's  something  on  the  other  side.  If  you  work  in  several  offices  and  brought  home  reams  of  scrap  paper  from  the  copier  room  that was still blank on one side. You  also  can  give  the  papers  to  your  children  to  colour  on.  They  do  not  need  clean  papers  to  colour  on.  You  can  also keep  a  look out  for  blank-sided  paper  in  all  that  junk  mail mentioned  in #5.  `Health is the capacity of the land for self-renewal. Conservation is our effort to understand and preserve this capacity`  says  by  Aldo Leopold.
 Then,  plastic  bags  are  not  biodegradable  materials  right?  They’re  do  not  decomposes  fully.   In  addition,  the  ink  is  made  up  of  cadmium  and  is  highly  toxic  when  released.  Paper  bags  are  reusable  and  biodegradable.  Choose  paper  instead  of  plastic.  Also  if  your  purchase  is  small  enough,  don't  take  a  bag  at  all.  This  alone  could  save  hundreds  of  millions  of  bags.  Bring  a  cloth  or  string  bag  for  smaller  shopping  trips.  When  you  go  to  a  shopping  trip,  you  can  purchase  recycle  thing  instead  vice  versa.  That  way  you  are  helping  to  converse  natural  resource  and  natural  protecting  our  world.
 Don’t  ever  litter  at  your  own  state!  At  other  state?  Also  cant!  Please don't  litter!  If  you’re  smoking  put  your  cigarette  butts  in  ash  trays  and  then deposit  those  ash  trays  in  waste  receptacles.  Littering  has  resulted  in  litter  taxes,  which  generate  funds  to  educate  the  public  about  not  littering.  Very  little  of  that  money  is  used  for  actual  litter  cleanup.  Cleaning  up  litter  is  much  like  mopping  up  the  floor  while  the  faucet  is  running.  It's  so  easy  to  put  your  trash  in  appropriate  trash  containers.  The  few  extra  steps  to  the  trash  will  benefit  to  your  health  as  well.
 In  order  to  keep  our  state  clean  and  healthy  citizens,  we  also  need  to  keep  the  earth  save.  Want  to  make  your  state  clean  and  beautiful?  Maybe  your  citizens  strong  and  healthy?  Plant  some  trees.  Trees  produce  oxygen  and  cool  the  air.  You  can  either  grow  seedlings  yourself,  or purchase  them  from  a  nursery.  If  we  surround  with  these  green  coloured  organisms,  we  surely  be  cool  too.  It  will  bring  peace  and  calm  state,  no  more  hot  and  sweaty.
What  makes  a  state  clean?  What  entitles  a  state  to  be  called  “a  clean state?”  Is  it  states  consisted  of  healthy  citizens,  who  preserve  nature?  The  earth is  full  of  materials  that  we  just  throw  away  and  put  to  waste  rather  than  use  them  for  productive  things.  In  order  to  answer  these  questions  we  have  to  look  at  the  root  causes,  and  then  make  changes  whether  big  or  small accordingly.  One  of  the  root  causes  that  we  will  look  at  is  waste  disposal,  and how  it  keeps  are  state  from  becoming  “clean  states.”  Let  us  look  at  how  big  of  a  “waste”  food.  We  just  make  food  thoughtlessly  since  we  need  it  as  human  beings,  yet  we  don’t  realize  that  just  wasting  food  creates  a  dilemma  for  not  only  us  but  every  living  thing.
However,  “waste”  is  a  big  thing  that  attract  small  animals  such  as  rats,  mice  and  insects,  and  bring  diseases  that  could  be  transferred  to  humans.  Of  course  we need  these  creatures  since  they  help  the  food chain,  but  if  they  are  brought  to cities  because  of  food  waste  then  we  are  hurting  the  health  of  our  states  as well  as  damaging  crops  or  food.  If  we  take  a  look  at  pigs  being  fed  food waste  we  can  see  that  this  can  cause  swine  flu  or  spread  pathogens  to  humans.  Waste,  whether  it  is  food,  things,  or liquids  it  is polluting  and poisoning  to  human  beings.  Especially,  illegally  dumped  chemicals  and  motor oil  can  contaminate  lands,  creeks  and  water  supplies.  It  can  seriously  disrupt the  balance  of  nature,  people  could  get  sick  if  they  were  to  drink  or  swim  in polluted  water,  and  in  extreme  cases,  can  cause  human  fatalities.
Having  a  clean  and  healthy  environment  is  one  of  the  key  requisites  for  a  state’s  development.  However,  it’s  quite  ironic  that  as  development  continues  to  grow,  lifestyles  also  adjust  to  this  and  if  this  change  happens  further, exploitation  of  the  planet’s  resources  in  turn  accelerates.  With  the  fast  paced life  we  are  living  in  today,  there  have  been  many  developments  in  different areas  most  specifically  technology  given  that  with  any  resource  that  is  being  used  to  produce  something  will  result  to  production  of  wastes  and  deploring  public  health  conditions.  Furthermore,  as  development  progresses,  population also  grows  and  apparently  population  growth  directly  effects  generation  of  wastes,  be  it  solid  or  liquid.  As  a  result,  some  of  the  offensive  wastes  during the  first  half  of  this  century  were  hazardous.  Indeed,  rapid  urbanization,  population  growth  and  changes  in  lifestyles  in  low  and  middle-income  countries contribute  to  increasing  the  per  capita  domestic  waste  generation.  In  fact, millions  of  metric  tons  of  waste  are  being  generated  worldwide.
So,  don’t  waste  your  thing  in  a  wrong  way.  We  want  healthy  citizens  right?  Then,  how  about  some  changes.  Use  a  simple  3R’s  method,  “Reuse,  Reduce,  and  Recycle”.  That’s  the  tips  to  keep  our  inspirational  quote  a  life,  “Clean  State  Healthy  Citizens”.  And  also  to  help  our  planet  earth!  Hope  the  tips  help  you!
