Juggun Kazim wants you to pick up your trash – especially if you’re in Nathia Gali. The TV host shared a video of piles of trash she came across on a trail in the hill station.

“We travel to beautiful places to escape the mess. Let’s not leave our mess behind for someone else to clean up. Take your memories. Take your photographs. Take your garbage too,” she wrote in the caption for the video.

“What is this nonsense? Wherever I go here [Nathia Gali], this is the state,” she said, pointing to wrappers, styrofoam cups and plastic bags strewn across the ground on the trail. “If you had plastic bags, why not put the trash in that and put carry it till you found a trash can?” she wondered.  

“The point is, we always complain about the state of our country, what will become of it, how will the situation become better but we can’t even manage to keep it clean,” she lamented, apologising for her aggression but labelling the situation ridiculous.

Kazim said we talk about climate change and the state of the environment, with hail in the rainy season and hot weather in the winter, but it’s all happening because of our propensity to litter and not taking care of our surroundings. “So, if things are bad, it’s our own fault,” she said.
