Spectators and competitors have strewn beer bottles, beer tins, water bottles, plastic bags, oil cans, tyres helter skelter

Its time we become responsible enough and not litter.
Nandi hills being a forest area and a plastic free zone now after the event carries a filthy look.

2 or 3 banners could have educated the crowd ????????

"KEEP NANDI HILLS CLEAN - CARRY BACK YOUR FILTH - DISPOSE IT AT THE RT PLACE"

Very true!! Even I noticed how people were careless (not innocence) in littering, otherwise the beautiful place.

I am (so far) convinced that these people (not just the crowd at nandi) are neither not going to care about it nor will learn to respect nature! People really aren't willing to even accept the toxicities of these products.

All the places that I have traveled so far, people lack it the common sense! I always refrain from plastic bags (unless it is inevitable or pre-wrapped) by carrying my own bag. I get pissed off whenever the people around me are plastic happy, I get really bad with them & try to correct them but end up being a unpopular person! I don't really care about it & continue my part of this social work!

One simple example, you go to nearby bakery, ask for bread, he slices it & inserts it into a polythene cover, then uses ONE MORE polythene bag to help u carry it . Atleast here the second bag can be avoided, as the first one is kinda inevitable unless the bakery people are green-aware & use a paper/butterpaper bags.

Sorry for this long writeup, but couldn't stop myself!

Our natural heritage is something we should all be proud of and help to preserve.... ESPECIALLY when we are all aficionados of a sport that...errr... doesn't really have a small carbon footprint!

Carry your trash back with you, and dispose of it properly! It does NOT take so much effort.

Good obervation and advice. The next time we (mean WE all) won't repeat.
