Man on a mission: Nalaka cycles for a cause

12 Oct 2018

The 27-year-old Nalaka Prasad Senadeera, who has always been conscious of the environment since he was a child, started his journey cycling from Point Pedro to Point Dondra with the aim of passing a rather important message to the public – a call to stop the depositing of garbage, which has become a public menace in scenic Dedigama. He noted: “It started about ten years ago and now they have paved a concrete road for this purpose. Currently there are four garbage trucks that dump waste material on a daily basis.” Whilst stating how unfortunate it is to witness the occurrence of such activities in a developing world like ours when varied options and alternatives (e.g. recycling) are available, he added that the area subject to this problem happens to be a site that ideally should have been subject to conservation and protection. Nalaka furthered the fact that the coastal region that stretches around the island had also been subject to unruly activities by our very own citizens who fail to dispose of their waste material in an apt and orderly manner. “My vision is to create awareness about this misfortune to the public and to prevent this issue from tilting towards its imminent peril,” he noted. Nalaka learned values of environmental consciousness at home, growing up. He acted in a teledrama and has written two books. Nalaka proceeded towards Kegalle on 3 October and arrived in Colombo on 4 October, where he publicised his message singlehandedly with his own handmade signs and posters that were exhibited at the Pettah bus stand. His tour will reach its stop upon his arrival in Galle. “I hope my initiative proves to be efficient in propelling this matter towards the notice and attention of the appropriate authorities and officials to facilitate a viable and expedient solution,” he concluded.
