I visited a Waste Management Exhibition at the International Centre, Dona Paula. Roland and Lorna from GOACAN were there, and Clinton Vaz, and students and a teacher from Carmel HSS, and (they'd left by the time I got there) a group of Swedish students.
What was the contribution of each group/person (in my subjective opinion)?
Roland and Lorna put up banners and boards related to waste, including a number on mercury and mercury poisoning. And they continue with the Battery Collection Drive. For more info on that, ask me. Or maybe I'll post about it.
Clinton updated us on the current trash scene in the state. Pictures, videos, facts- enough to set your mind buzzing!
(on a tangent- the above-mentioned people know so much, I am in awe.)
The team from Carmel's had a simple composting arrangement on display, a system of three plastic buckets that you add waste and a solution of spices and EM to (sounds like a recipe for something!)
The Swedish students, whom I missed, are (if I understood correctly) studying our waste management system. They also made a short film on their system back home. just a little time and effort, and you can make an international difference! thumbs up! what else- oh yes- some of them had made jewellery out of the keys from keyboards, tetra paks, the little plastic rings from tuborg cans or bottles (not a fan of beer so I don't know)
People do love the earth, thank God!
Didn't take pictures at the exhibition, but got one sappily beautiful pic of the sunset. For those of you who need visuals :D
