Water and washing cars
As good citizens of Dhaka, we all believe in a healthy environment, but often we sacrifice this by using too much water to keep our cars clean. Of course, we all want to have clean cars. However, do we realise that keeping our cars clean means using up a great deal of water? Even though cars get dirty quickly in Dhaka, if we save water, we will have more to use for households and businesses and maintain a green environment. We propose that the Dhaka city authorities enact a law relating to people washing their cars only one day in a week. But you might say, “I want my car clean for a fancy occasion." You can plan your week to wash your car on the day of the event so it is clean the day you go to the special occasion. Even though windows may get dusty often, you can use your window wipers to clean them without wasting extra water.
Now is the time to save water while we still have enough to save! So let's all take care of our environment and ourselves. We must take action today!
