The self – discipline is an essential fact for the development of a country. Self discipline is one of the keys for living to one’s full potential. If we can be disciplined with our daily actions, we can achieve any of the things that set to our mind, as that bridges between our goals and accomplishments. Here we have to pay more attention to improve self- discipline to bring the individual to a good path. A single person alone cannot develop a country. Basically, a country can be developed through self- disciplines, as described above. The village, town, and then the country should be developed through an individual that brings forth from self family disciplines. Along that path, the self- discipline supplies an important contribution. The main cause for many of the abuses, and anti-social deeds is not having self- discipline. Our organization needs to refer the individual attention about this reason.
As a citizen of a country, each and every individual has his/ her own responsibility to keep the surrounding clean. Actually the use of plastics and polythene has become a great cause for environmental pollution as they are non- biodegradable parts that are daily added in tons to the environment. Plastics and polythene do not decay by mixing with soil or with the help of micro organism. So they are directly make threaten to the healthy environment. If we can reduce use of polythene or avoid use of them and if we can use some alternatives instead of using polythene and plastics, it will be an advisable deed to protect our environment. For example : we can use environmental friendly vessels and bags which are made with reed, cane, straw, paper or cloth to contain things, instead of using polythene and plastic, it will be a real solution for this burning issue. Or otherwise they can be sent for recycling process because plastic and polythene are highly recyclable materials.
If we just pay attention to the other countries in the world for keeping environment clean, In Australia(Adelaide): By emphasizing recycling, Adelaide city drastically reduced their dependence on landfills, leading to a much cleaner living environment. The city encourages citizens to consider giving quality, unwanted items to charity and to urge each other to rely on the city’s recycling services. While Germany has introduced the famous “green dot” as a symbol in 1991,any product or packaging with the green dot on it shows that the manufacturer has already paid for the recovery and recycling of the packaging material and therefore should be collected from the consumer free of charge .
Germany is also famous for having coloured dustbins system respectively for different items.
Blue : paper
Brown or Green : Biodegradable materials
Yellow: Packaging of all sorts
Black: Other
Germany recycles more than 65% of its total waste.
In Hawalii, The Sustainable Coastlines Hawalii (SCH) with funding from the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) arranges educational programs in schools and try to show the local communities the increasing marine debris problems on their beaches. They arrange volunteer “ Beach Cleanup Programs” in schools, the government and business also provide support.

Given below is a summary of 50 year long campaign that Singapore had to change the people into keeping their city clean;
Every individual’s daily life is limited to 24 hours. Did you just think how you spend the 24 hours? We shall do a small introduction about this.
24 hour
Let’s manage the 24 hours that we have for a day in the proper way. Actually one cannot spend an hour for leisure , as we have introduced, due to busy schedule of their lives. Some young people’s lives have been confined to the mobile phone. There’s no time to spend with parents or to engage in any hobbies, some adults do not have this leisure due to TV. Specially, even some are used to have their meals while watching T.V. Do you know that, if you have your meal, while watching T V, you won’t be able to get the nutritious in the meal in an appropriate way as you need.
Do you like if, the television is not telecasted after 10 at night?
Next we suggest to remove the bad deeds that are assured as anti-social from the society to improve the individual discipline. Under that:
අපි හිතලා රට හදමු යන අප සංවිධානය මූලිකවම අවධානය යොමු කරන මාතෘකාව වනුයේ පුද්ගල ආරක්ෂාව වැඩි දියුණු කිරීම ගැනයි. අපේම කැමරා කාචයට හසුවු මෙම පින්තූරය…
