Proper Solid Waste Management Involves all of us

January 11, 2016 by Syreta Roberts 2 Comments

Photo by Rosemary Clarice Hanna The Bahamas markets itself as a Tourist destination: An archipelago of 700 islands and Cays with white sand beaches, aqua transparent water and a green and pristine environment. For the most part this is the case. However, garbage can easily be found on road sides, derelict vehicles in some yards, and in the nearby bushes of some areas in New … [Read more...] about Proper Solid Waste Management Involves all of us
