Save environment before it’s too late

26.OCT.07

Editor: It seems that the river is the new dump site for garbage in Barrouallie. Some people wait until the the rain comes to dump their garbage etc In fact, even lawmen, who should be the protectors, the enforcers, dump too.{{more}}

This situation needs to be addressed now with a resident sanitory inspector in Barrouallie. Even the sea is feeling the effect with the low fish catch. I used to skip about six stones to cross the river to school. Now, I step over like it’s a gutter.

Others in Barrouallie and other areas will agree with me, that this is a serious environmental problem. So I am begging those in charge to fix this problem now. There is also too much cutting down of trees to burn coals. Why can’t somebody introduce recycling of bottles, cans and plastics to save our environment before it’s to late?
