EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of sustainability and resourcefulness in Islamabad, Pakistan. In this vertical shot taken by Farooq Naeem for Agence France-Presse (AFP), a Pakistani horse cart driver can be seen transporting plastic bottles for recycling on February 28,2014. The image showcases the unique combination of tradition and modernity as the horse-drawn cart carries not only food and objects but also plays a crucial role in promoting environmental consciousness through recycling. The driver's dedication to collecting plastic bottles highlights the importance of waste management and sustainability in an ever-growing city like Islamabad. Furthermore, this photograph sheds light on Pakistan's economic recovery as it was set to receive a significant loan tranche worth $550 million from the International Fund that year. This indicates that while progress is being made on multiple fronts, including sustainable practices, financial support is still necessary to ensure continued development. Farooq Naeem's skillful composition allows viewers to appreciate both the cultural significance of horse-drawn carts in Pakistan and their contribution towards creating a greener future. As we admire this offbeat scene, let us recognize how small actions like recycling can have far-reaching impacts when embraced by communities worldwide.
