Let greens be green

We all know that the colour of leaves of plants and trees in general is supposed to be green, but regrettably, the reality is different. Please take a look around you, it is very frustrating that none of the leaves are green, rather it is dusty, hampering the process of photosynthesis, through which plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere, essential for the survival of all living beings including humans. This situation is predominant during winter when it does not rain and at this time most of the people fall victim to many air borne diseases. Who is to be blamed for this? The Nature? The Creator? No, it is us, the human beings, we are responsible for this. You may ask how? The rudimentary method of cleanliness and other man made factors are responsible for spreading dust into the air. The way we sweep our streets and other places with brooms, spreads dust into the air containing many a harmful dust mites which gradually settles onto the leaves of the trees and grass all around us. I wonder why the Department of Environment (DoE) is so indifferent towards this situation. The government should immediately consider putting into service the necessary number of vacuum cleaning trucks for the purpose of cleaning the streets and ensure an environment friendly atmosphere.
