Plastic-Free Sylhet: Shohid Minar Clean-Up
Our main inspiration was our commitment to a cleaner city and raising environmental awareness. As members of the Metropolitan University Rover Scout Group, we felt responsible to act when we saw dirty areas, plastic pollution, and a lack of public consciousness. This clean-up campaign aimed not just to clean, but to spread a message of responsibility, reduce plastic waste, and promote community awareness.
We conducted a clean-up at Sylhet Central Shohid Minar with our Rover Scout team, targeting roadsides, footpaths, and nearby public spaces. In small groups, we collected trash, removed plastic waste, and raised community awareness about cleanliness, hygiene, and environmental protection, improving the landmark’s appearance and promoting responsible waste disposal.
Throughout this project, we learned the importance of teamwork, community involvement, and consistent effort in keeping public spaces clean. We realized that tackling plastic pollution requires both action and awareness. Small actions, when done collectively, can create a big positive impact. Raising awareness is essential to inspire others to take responsibility for their surroundings and to work together for a plastic-free, cleaner Sylhet.
