IT has become very evident now that the disposal of garbage has gone out of control.
My recent Sunday afternoon stroll on the GT seawall area has confirmed the reckless disposal of garbage here in Guyana.
The sea shore is littered with all sorts of plastic bottles, plastic bags & broken bottles. The stench coming from the sea shore suggests that citizens do dump dead pet animals or even house hold waste over on the sea shore. Black plastic bags can be seen half buried on the sea shore.
The seawall area on a Sunday afternoon are enjoyed by many for countless years now, many families go to enjoy the fresh air and to relax looking over the Atlantic while the kids play on the trampoline & enjoy the push cars & Merry – go – round or even take a stroll on the beach.
It’s a shame the way we treat our environment that nature has bless us with, tourist visiting the sea wall for the first time will think twice to visit again. The Minister of Tourism should take a long walk on the sea walls to see the effects of improper garbage disposal; after all he talks about the GT sea wall as a big tourist attraction.
The authority should penalize the vendors that sell on Sunday afternoon heavy fines for failing to clean up after selling & larger bins should be placed to accommodate garbage. Sign board should be erected along the sea walls warning people not to litter the area or heavy fines will be charged if caught.
I wonder if anyone really cares.
