Irresponsible smoking habits

The authorities are trying their best to keep the city clean — millions are spent every year but still some people work against them.

They think nothing of tossing their used cigarette butts on the road. They do not fear that anyone is watching them or that others in the community will raise awareness about their bad habits.

I hope that after seeing this report people think before throwing their used cigarette butts around the city. I hope that people will be more conscious of the authorities' efforts.

The authorities are already doing their part to help people adopt a more environmentally-friendly attitude, and it is now up to residents to follow through.
