I WOULD like to lend support to the call for banning products made of Styrofoam and other non-degradable materials. If we do not take drastic action to protect our environment, we are in dire threat of being literally buried by our waste. Ironically, the solutions to this and other environmental problems are easier than we think. Recently, my family and I went to a buffet at a popular restaurant in New Jersey, and to our surprise the utensils were all made of bamboo. There were forks, spoons and plates made of bamboo. Guyana has vast quantities of this marvelous plant, which grows rapidly and easily. Isn’t there some enterprising businessman/woman out there who is prepared to go into this seemingly profitable venture and help us save our environment?
