Garbage on the seawall
Dear Editor,
It has become very evident 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 and broken bottles.
The stench coming from the sea shore suggests that citizens do dump dead pet animals or even household waste on the sea shore.
Black plastic bags can be seen half buried on the sea shore.
The seawall area on a Sunday afternoon is 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 and enjoy the push cars and merry go around, or even take a stroll on the beach.
It’s a shame the way we treat our environment that nature has blessed us with, tourists visiting the seawall for the first time will think twice to visit again.
The Minister of Tourism should take a long walk on the seawalls to see the effects of improper garbage disposal; after all he talks about the GT seawall as a big tourist attraction.
The authority should penalize the vendors that sell on Sunday afternoon with heavy fines for failing to clean up after selling and larger bins should be placed to accommodate garbage. Sign boards should be erected along the seawall warning people not to litter the area or face heavy fines if caught.
I wonder if anyone really cares.
