Help Their Jobs!
In my city, Bogor, most of street sweepers are women. For me, they have done noble jobs. But, for them, it might just one way to survive in life.Every day, they have to sweep for four hours, from 5.am until 10.am. It’s truly not an easy job. We should appreciate their service to keep clean the city by not littering. It makes me angry every time I saw some one litter. When I asked him/her to throw the waste into a trash can; they just said,” What for? There will be someone who cleans it. She was paid to do it, right?” Uuughhh… Why they can be so unconcerned about the cleanness of their own city?
Fortunately, the local government has respected their jobs. Some women street sweepers have ever given gratitude for doing the jobs well. I was sure this appreciation can motivate them more. This city needs them, because there are still many people here who don’t care with environment, yes, we really need them…
How’s in your city? Do you still need street sweepers to keep clean your city?

We have something in common about this, sister. Here in Medan, most of the street sweepers are women too. Half of them are mothers. They make this city clean every day. Sure, we still need them..

This is great. Yes, we can help them of not throwing our garbage anywhere...
yap.., many people just so mean and not concern of helping... Those who thinks that its okey to throw garbage because there's somebody who will clean are nothing but a garbage themselves!
good post lina!
Hi, Lina!
Same here, Lina. There are people who are not concerned and still litter on the street. Even if we put signs of No Littering but just ignore it and don't care .
good post!
i've appreciate
Some street sweepers in my city are women. They sweep along the streets in hot shiny days. It's not their dream, but the only choice to live their lives...
artikelnya sangat bagus bu ....
hayo ... masih tidak malukah kita berbuat sembarangan/kotor dijalanan dan tidak bertanggung-jawab ...
Yes, we also have street sweepers in our city.
I think the behavior of some people towards cleanliness reflects the type of upbringing they had in childhood. If they were not taught and trained about cleanliness, then they'd just litter everywhere.
nice mbak walau harus pake google translete saya membacanya hehehe maklum lidah anak pulau masih ribet nih mbak...
memang harus kita hargai para penyapu jalanan ini mbak, pekerjaan mereka mulia dan patut kita beri apresiasi walaupun hanya dengan memberikan senyuman pada mereka ketika mereka bekerja...
kita harus peduli dong dengan kebersihan kota kita...
sukses selalu mbak.....
i feel so blessed after reading your post. first, because i am not one of them and second, because they are there to do the things everybody SHOULD do.. i wish them good luck and better lives..
pastinya.. mereka sangat kita butuhkan mbak. hanya saja kita juga harus mendisiplinkan diri u/jaga kebersihan lingkungan. Kita ajak dan contohkan kpd anak2 kita untuk tidak buang sembarangan.Ayo.. mulai dari keluarga kita.. ;)
keren blognya....
Yes, we do have street sweepers. And many still throw their trashes as if the Philippines is a very big waste can (with the same thought in mind: there were street sweepers). *sigh*
Got an award for you!
