10 steps how everybody can contribute to a Clean World

1. Don’t throw trash!

Don’t throw it into the street, into the woods, into the rivers, into the seas!
If you throw trash away, it doesn’t go away, ever.
Trash comes back, in so many ways, and none of them good.

2. Sort your trash!

In the Clean World everything used is sorted and that’s how we reduce trash. It is one of the best ways to re-use resources.
In the Clean World we hope to eliminate landfills and view trash as a valuable source of new resources.

3. Don’t throw anything away. Anything!

When something is broken, try to fix it! If you can’t, then recycle it!
If you don’t need something, think of a new use for it or give it to somebody who might need it. Everything that you may no longer require could be valuable elsewhere. Think, before you dispose.

4. Don’t burn trash!

Burning trash seems an easy option. However, when you burn trash, it returns many toxins to the environment.  Look to re-cycle your trash… Don’t burn it!

5. Compost food leftovers!

Food leftovers should not be thrown away, but composted. In the Clean World there is a compost next to every house for every community.

6. Consume only as much as you really need to!

In the Clean World people regard consumption as the last resort. Repair as much as possible. Don’t let fashion or technology affect your opinions.

7. Avoid using disposable products that generate trash!

Glass bottles filled with drinks really are environmentally ‘better’.
Instead of plastic bags, use bags made of fabric.
Products are consumed more reasonably in the Clean World.

8. Buy trash free products!

Avoid products that are excessively packaged. Choose to buy durable products that will last.
In the Clean World there are totally recyclable products.

9. Support environmentally friendly legislation and actions!

Vote for laws that support environmentally friendly produced goods, from farmers’ markets or directly from the producer. Cut out the marketing and packaging. In the Clean World we buy responsibly.

10.  Co-operate with others by suggesting alternatives!

Be yourself but make sure your friends can see your example. In the Clean World everybody is responsible. Be different by making your friends enjoy the Clean World.

this must have been a truly romantic love song. find the true love in the lyrics.

I remember when I first met you
I felt that God answered my call
There was that one place I always thought about
And I just wanted to be there with you
The place that no eye has ever seen
The place that no heart has ever perceived
I had a great feeling inside of me
That one day I’ll be there with you
Chorus:
And now that we’re here feeling so good
About all the things that we went through
Knowing that God is pleased with us too
It’s not a dream, this is so true
Feeling the peace all around
Seeing things we could never imagine
Hearing the sound of rivers flow
And we know we’ll be here forever
The feeling is indescribable
Knowing that this is our reward
Do you remember the hard times we went through?
And those days we used to argue
But there was not one thing that could bring us down
‘Cause we always had in our minds
The place that no eye has ever seen
The place that no heart has ever perceived
The place we’ve been promised to live in forever
And best of all, it’s just me and you
CHORUS
I remember us praying at night
And just dreaming about this together
I’m so blessed to have you in my life
And now we can enjoy these blessings forever
Paradise is where we are now
Paradise, a dream come true
Paradise, O what a feeling!
Paradise, thank You Allah!
CHORUS
