Raising Awareness for Environmental Responsibility and the Importance of Maintaining a Clean Environment

I went on a peaceful morning hike above Matatirtha Temple Area today. Unfortunately, there was litter scattered everywhere. 

I managed to collect only about 40% of the plastic waste before I had to leave due to time constraints. 

I'm unsure how to handle the remaining waste, but I may return it tomorrow to collect it and ensure proper disposal. 

What has caused this litter issue? Is it due to people's lack of awareness or their disregard for social and environmental responsibility? 

Let's remember that the Earth is our home, and it is our common responsibility to keep it clean.
