Our Beach…
21st June 2012 by Her
Ever since I was little I loved going to the beach my father would take us during summer and I would just have a blast and never wanted to get out of the water. now I’m actually concerned about my health whenever I do swim in our beaches in Kuwait …
Last weekend we went to the beach for a swim. I noticed there was A LOT of plastic waste just thrown there on the sands, floating on the water and people are still having fun and enjoying their time. it became a normal thing for us to see such thin. In fact, we would be surprised if the beach was nice and clean!
the question is” how long will this continue” ? we all know its pollution, we all know its bad for us and our environment yet we just ignore the problem and go on with our lives knowing that if this continues to be the situation one day our children wont be able to enjoy this beach or eat anything that comes out of it…well its already happening actually…
how long are we going to be ignorant and naive or pretend to be ? just to avoid dealing with the problem. Its not a minor problem no! its a huge one that affect our lives and our land.
trash cans are every where on the beach yet no one bothers to use them. why isn’t there any low to forbid such thing ?! and I mean strict laws that are applied for real unlike unrealistic laws. For example smoking is not allowed in the airport and in The Avenues mall yet everybody is doing it right next to the none smoking sign!!. polluting our country should be a crime.
Miseela beach has been closed now for more that three years I think. Why isn’t anybody doing anything about the problem ?! why hasn’t it been solved yet?!
this is very frustrating, the new generation should be educated regarding the issue and learn that loving their country doesn’t mean dancing in the street on liberty day…but keeping it beautiful and safe for f us and our children in the future to enjoy.

This winter when I went for a walk near hardrock cafe with my husband, I was surprised to see how polluted the beach looked, I took pictures and told hubby that I will send it to bloggers but you know I never send it across and after few weeks just deleted the pics thinking that this is normal, that’s how our beaches are and no one will do anything about it.
But if everyone starts to think this way, the way I did which is what is actually happening, there will be no initiative for a better healthy beach. I think there has to be a strong organization for this. We should defiantly do something about it.
And about Messila, I always wanted to go there ever since last I went there maybe 5 years ago and last two years when we planned to go there, the security told us its closed.
