Dear ATANGA,
~. - "
1 hope you enjÇ>yed the long holid<;tYs. l spend mine in Limbe with my aunt and her family. l must tell you
more about the town sometimes, but right now l want to share what 1think is special about Limbe.
It is the c1eanest city in our country! oh yes! Limbe is beautiful, and l think l know the reason why. The
inhabitants of the town have solved the problem of garbage disposaI. They have aIl volunteered to help and sa
their .city is c1ean. There's no dirt anyway and that's amazing.
The story goes that one day the government delegate to the city was driving in Limbe. In front of him was (1
large Jeep filled with visitors. They were eating, chatting and throwing fruits peals, yogurt cups and empt:1'
plastic bags out of the windows as they drove. Their car radio was blasting music loudly and they were talkillp.
excitedly about what they had seen and experienced. The' government delegate overtook them and flaggcd
them down. They stopped and he talked to them about keeping Limbe c1ean. He asked them not to throw theil
rubbish out into the streets. The visitors were astonisped! They drove on and later they noticed the c1ear
streets. They made up their minds to help to keep Limbe dean. So how did the people of Limbe do this? Then:
• is an effective weekly c1ean-up campaign. On Wednesdays the market and services are closed until midday
and aIl inhabitants get out and do their share of cleaning up: They aIl volunteer their time for this. 1 watchec
:m. They clean the environment around their homes, clear the gutters and drains, trimmed the grass, pick 'up
che rubbish, sweptthe public places and washed the floors .. The waste disposaI trucks collected the garbage.
That's why the city looks spick and span!
School children take care of the envirobent around their schools too. They sweep, cut the grass, rake the
• rubbish and dump it aIl into the large rubbish bins. Sorne schools have incinerators where the rubbish is
incinerated. Sorne schools have compost heaps for garden waste. Many schools have separate bins for plastic
bottles to encourage re-us~ and recycling.
.Everyone is happy with the results. The officiaIs of the Ministry of Public Health sat that a clean city will keep
epidemics such as cholera and Ebola away, and malaria will fine no foothold there.
