People openly pollute creek in Dubai

With the perfect weather, I had taken my family to the lovely lake side overlooking the golf club at one of the malls in Dubai. We were enjoying Nature and the beautiful sights of the birds, when suddenly we see men coming and polluting the lake by dumping waste into it. I photographed a few people in the act. If we don’t stop this behaviour and take action immediately, this lake will get polluted and destroyed. There should be a guard on duty in these places to keep the culprits at bay. The authorities have done their part wonderfully, but it’s up to us to knock sense into ourselves and keep our environment safe and clean for our future generations. A big part of the issue stems from social conditioning at home and lack of education.
