Green is not always OK

Excerpt from the mail sent to all the major News papers and the television channels in the city:


I don't know whether to cry or to get angry seeing the pathetic state of Bengalooru's Lakes. One such example is the Ulsoor Lake near M.G.Road, Bengalooru. The current state of the lake is really very bad. It is not only hazardous to the life in and near Ulsoor lake but also is a Black mark to the city of lakes.


I just can't understand why people just throw anything and everything into this and other lakes without thinking twice about what may happen to the nature. In the pictures attached, one can see so many plastic covers (from milk cartons to Potato chips' bags). If this continues, then the Govt. should ban people from entering the lake's premises or a heavy fine should be levied on those who make the lake poisonous. Moreover after the last week's Summer showers the state of the lake has become worse. The drain water has got mixed with the clean water and the lake waters colour has turned GREEN!

BCC had cleaned Ulsoor lake just 6 years back (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2106698330.cms) with the help of Madras Sappers, but today if one sees the same lake it is very sad.


Please help and/or do something good about all the lakes and esp. Ulsoor lake. I see this lake every day/night and I just can't take the bad that is happening to this lake anymore.

SAVE LAKES; SAVE ENVIRONMENT; SAVE EARTH FOR YOURSELF

Really Hurt and a Responsible Citizen,
