Top 10 Reasons to Keep your City Clean

8. Kill Mosquitoes:

Mosquitoes breed in stagnated water. Mosquitoes carry most diseases. Besides the Dengue carrying mosquito, most other species breed in dirty stagnated water. If you ensure that all the roads are clean, you are in effect preventing the mosquitoes from breeding. By keeping the city clean, we could easily combat the widespread mosquito menace.

7. Tourism:

Tourists throng clean destinations where the possibility of acquiring diseases is minimal. It is a very sensible thought. Nobody would want to spend their vacation lying in bed.

Hence keeping a place clean will easily lure more tourists and make tourism a booming industry in the city. Chandigarh is supposed to be the cleanest city in India. Statistics show that Chandigarh attracts a large number of travelers every year.
6. Pure air:

With clean surroundings, you can rest assured that you will never have to inhale the stench of rotting garbage that often litters the roads. The garbage on the road not only smells bad, but it also attracts many insects and mosquitoes which only exacerbates the problem.

If people get their vehicles checked for emissions regularly, even the vehicular pollutant levels in the air can be minimized which will make the air cleaner.
5. Clean water:

There are many people who dump their garbage on the roads. This is bad. But there is an equal number who dump their waste into fresh water bodies. This is worse- much worse. It is a well-known fact that only one percent of the total water is readily available for consumption. Hence dumping waste into water bodies is nothing short of criminal offense. By doing so, you are polluting one of the most significant natural resources.

Hence it is highly essential to keep water bodies clean. Only if you maintain the water bodies in the city clean will the water you drink be free from contaminants and other toxic wastes.
