A Vivid Memory of Clean and Serene Japan

A beautiful, clear and tidy street emerges from my mind when I read this article and need to write my aspects about untidy streets. The place that triggers my memory is Japan. I was born in southeast Asia where the civic duty of the people is still a foreign concept. Litter can be seen in every street. The tobacco leaves and Betel nut juice are left wantonly. The stray animals and their excrements are to be seen and smelt on the streets. I feel like running a road sweeper hire business, as surely there's a need for this here! People do not care about whether streets are clear or not. Everybody including me seems to turn a blind eye on the fact that we are damaging our living place. But when I traveled to Japan, The neat and tidy streets greeted my eyes. The unbelievably clear street gave me a reassuring feeling. My family even said that they were so touched by the beautiful scenes. This strong contrast rocks my head and forces me to consider what we've done to our living place? We really should correct our attitude toward the enviroment.
