Former President J.J. Rawlings said that Ghanaians can not badociate their habits with the sacrifice that Christ has endured for them if they do not sacrifice themselves for the environment.
In his Easter Sunday message, he called for a sober reflection on the harmful activities of people on the environment.
Regretting the floods that have cost the lives of recent weeks, he said: "Floods are sometimes not preventable, but most of the disasters caused by floods result from the indiscriminate and widespread construction of structures on waterways, which is then exacerbated by the inconsiderate spill refuse by individuals. "
"Many of us act above the law by building buildings and walls on waterways, blocking the easy flow of water during the rains. We feel above the law because we are able to corrupt and manipulate the authorities responsible for urban planning or to badociate ourselves with the political authority, "he added.
According to him, environmental disasters caused by anarchy and bad habits make no distinction between people who are killed or mutilated.
"Let's make sacrifices for our environment by keeping it clean, tidy and protected," he said.

May Easter be a period of sacrifice for the health of our environment
In commemorating the resurrection of Christ, let us take the time to reflect.
Crucifixion and resurrection were a great symbol of sacrifice. How often do we make sacrifices for our families, our communities and our country? How often do we take but never give?
In recent weeks we have lost many lives as a result of floods. Floods are sometimes unavoidable, but most flood-related disasters result from the indiscriminate and widespread construction of structures on waterways, which is then exacerbated by imprudent dumping of waste by individuals.
Many of us act above the law by building buildings and walls on waterways, thus blocking the easy flow of water during the rains.
We feel above the law because we are able to corrupt and manipulate the authorities responsible for urban and urban planning or feel empowered by our badociation with political authority.
We also repeatedly refuse to do what is required by traveling a certain distance to deposit the waste in officially designated dumps. Under the guise of darkness, we dump garbage bags in the gutters, drains and on the shoulders of our roads.
We can not badociate our habits with the sacrifice that Christ has endured for us if we do not succeed in sacrificing ourselves for our environment, our health and our safety.
Today we should offer ourselves a moment of sober reflection. Let us think about the damage we cause daily to our environment. It is a collective responsibility. Those who watch and do nothing to stop those who are wandering are also guilty.
Environmental disasters that result from our anarchy and bad habits make no distinction between people who are killed or maimed. Let's make sacrifices for our environment by keeping it clean, tidy and protected.
Happy Easter to everyone.
