Fear in me

On 15th of Magh, I saw two women throwing garbage at roadside. There was already a pile of garbage and maybe the women confused it with the dumping site. Whatever be the reason, I knew what they were doing was wrong and I wanted to stop them but I didn't. I don't know why I hesitated, it surprised me. I wondered why I didn't stop them? Was it because I was getting late for college and didn't want to get into fight early in the morning? Or was it because I knew they wouldn't pay me any attention to me at all? Or maybe because I am not as conscious about protecting my environment as I like myself to think! Whatever be the reason, it was my duty as a civilized citizen to stop them from dumping garbage there but I didn't do it. I regretted it later. Maybe I would have regretted telling them as soon as I did but it would have been less than what I am feeling now. I think its high time we think about protecting the environment but we just think and don't act at all. I throw waste papers in dustbin but my friends and my brother keep teasing me on that. I wonder why they don't understand why I am doing so? I am trying to save and reduce the amount of pollution one person can cause. I think environment conservation should be a matter of national concern. If you want to change this world start from yourself. I believe "just a change in small habit can change the whole world" and believing is a must, to succeed.
