Cleaning campaign along Messina Stream

The environmental health of the stream is of paramount importance to innumerable aquatic lives in it and beyond. For the assurance of clean and safe home of those beings, about sixty five members of Earth Guardians Bhutan CNR did a thorough clean up of the heavily polluted stream today. It is also known that the downstream community uses the same stream to feed their paddy fields which is quite toxic and waste-ridden stream.

Stream Heavily polluted with wastes

The zeal and enthusiasm of youth led environmental enthusiasts ensured the health of the stream and the vicinity of Messina town. The stream was heavily polluted with wastes of all kinds being next to the automobile workshop and the shops. It has become the dump yard of Messina town with not even a single proper place to dump their wastes. 

We collected over 180 sacks of wastes from the stream within four hours of our dedicated hardwork.

The saviour 

Drenched and exhausted in the dirty stream, sixty five of us rescued the waste-ridden stream of about 300 meters of stretch starting from the top of Messina till the end of the town.

We are happy to get the necessary help from the newly elected tshogpa of the place Mr.Kuenzang Dorji. In his conversation with some of the office bearers of EGBCNR he expressed his interest and commitment to collaborate with us in any social activities in and around Messina. We would like to thank him for the refreshments to our much deserved social and environmental youth campaigners.

The cleaning campaign is funded by the College of Natural resources in fulfillment of its mandate as a concern institution for the social and environmental weal being. 

We would like to thank the college management and look forward for the similar support in near future. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Environmental Officer of Punakha Dzongkhag who helped us to get the Municipal Waste collecting vehicle. Mr.Tshewang Lhendup who is the ex-student of CNR an Assistant Research Officer with RSPN also sponsored us with two cartons of mineral water. We would like to thank all our dedicated EGBCNR members for your unwavering support in all the activities and we look forward for the same in upcoming club activities.
