Dumped Rubbish At UTP’s Convofair.

Magnificently, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) celebrates its 10^th convocation ceremony, last Sunday. UTP’s graduates across countries also around the globe arrived at UTP since Friday to attend the ceremony. In conjunction with the convocation ceremony, there was held a carnival or so-called ‘Convo Fair’ at the Oval Park, a beautiful landscape near the lake, for three consecutive days. People live around was warmly welcome to the fair. Sadly, after three days, it was found that the carnival’s site turns out to be a dumped rubbish area left by the visitors; with heavily distributed rubbish. UTP’s service management had to provide extra lorries and workers to collect the dumped rubbish. A special committee is set up to figure out the cause and effect of this issue, thus, find ways to avoid it from happens ever again.

                Undisputedly, the cause of this issue is mainly because of fewer bins provided at the carnival’s site. People visits the carnival was increasing over the day, with more rubbish produced or thrown away. Besides, the bins were located far from each other and isolated from the carnival’s main attraction site. Thus, most of the visitors, took an easy exit with seamlessly throwing rubbish at the ground. In addition, irregular collecting time of the rubbish also may become the cause of this issue. The rubbish collecting time is not organize and inefficient. This two causes, severely contributes to the root of this issue, without any doubt, any argue.

                Thus, with these two causes, it contributes to unpleasant effect. People littering, rubbish mount, coming out from the bins. The carnival was polluted. This issue lead the carnival to be a filthy place, gross scenery with rubbish everywhere. Cans, bottles, food wrap, leftovers can be found at the carnival’s site, on the ground, everywhere. It also become unpleasant sight for whoever comes to UTP’s compound as the carnival’s site is just besides UTP’s main entrance. Plus, not only the sight was disgusted, but also the smell of the area was disgusting either. This issue effect many people.

                This issue was really regretted by the management. To avoid this issue from repeating, a strict disciplinary action should be taken. For upcoming annual convocation ceremony, more bins will be placed at the carnival’s site. The bins will be located at the visitor’s main attraction at the carnival site such the booths, stalls and etc. on behalf of the management, they will re-schedule the rubbish collecting time to be more efficient and effective time table. Also, put up a remainder signboard to keep clean and together save the environment.

                In conclusion, littering is not cool. This issue will keep repeating if we did not take ought action, and overcome thus solve it. Save earth, think green. When there are causes and effect, there many ways to solve it. Be creative.
