A feeling of great sadness
Dear Editor,
Every day as I drive around the city, I have a feeling of great sadness on how terrible we are treating our environment.
I would like to point out one example: as I drive South on Vlissengen Road, between the Guyana Zoo and Castellani House, across from the Ministry of Agriculture and obliquely across from the Office of the President, there is a lone garbage bin that has been full and spilling over for the past several weeks. The garbage falling on the 
grassy area has nowhere to go but into the trench in front of Castellani House. You can imagine the negative impact this sight has on visiting tourists and the apparent declining number of environmentally friendly Guyanese.
I know that garbage trucks pass this site on a daily basis. Wouldn’t it be possible for one of these trucks to prioritize this lonely litter bin and empty it on a daily basis? If not maybe it should be removed completely.
