Is this the way we treat our environment?

Sep 05, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
The sea shores at the Georgetown seawall has become a garbage dumpsite. My recent evening walk there on Monday afternoon (August 31), confirm that once a clean and peaceful seawall has now being litter with all sorts of garbage.
Garbage include; plastic bottles, plastic bags, Styrofoam boxes and cups old tyres and broken glass bottles.
The garbage buildup on the seawall is the main source after the regular Sunday night lime. People just don’t have any regards for their surrounding and could be seeing throwing all their refuse on either side of the seawall.
Is this the way we treat our environment, especially our beloved seawall and seashore?
Or is this the way things are done in Guyana?
My suggestion is that the vendors selling on the seawall on Sunday nights should be the ones to clean up the seawall and have larger garbage bins placed for the disposal of their garbage.
If no serious action is taken for the proper disposal of plastics in Guyana then in a few years it will be horrific.
P. Rawlins
