Activist Shaniera Akram raised yet another social issue

*ISLAMABAD – Activist Shaniera Akram raised concerns about the wastewashing ashore on Karachi’s Clifton beach and said we need to fix thesource.*

Akram took to Twitter and wrote “All day every day these workers are in thehot sun cleaning up the filth that is getting washed on our shores. Ourocean is polluted and no matter how hard we work at cleaning the beachrubbish still washes in everyday. We need to fix the source instead ofbandaging the problem!”

Shaniera Akram believes cleaning up is a temporary solution, somethingneeds to be done to stop the waste from landing on Seaview and it can beonly done when those who dump medical waste in the ocean are identified.

The activist has been pretty vocal about pollution and climate changelink. Shepreviously drew attention towards the matter through a series of tweetsdeclaring the beach unsafe.

She also posted pictures of plastic waste to remind people how it has piledup on the shore. “A plastic bag takes between 1-10,000 years or more todecompose,” she tweeted earlier.
