Statement from Environment and Housing Minister on United Sanitation accident

Toss it IN...the BIN!
On
my morning run I passed by two workers from Sanitation Services along the road
collecting trash that had been tossed, likely out of windows of passing
vehicles. How lucky we are to have these men who clean up after us! I call out to
them, "Hey you are doing a great job!", and they look up and smile. I keep on
my pace thinking that this job should not be necessary, all but perhaps once a
year. Are we now dependent on these workers to clean up after us? Does it
reduce the garbage and promote the tossing?
In
many countries it is against the law to litter. Large fines are the outcome.
Living on an island the trash can only remain here with us, or worse make its way into our ocean, and head off perhaps to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Luckily we have a
great waste receptacle called, Sanitation Services. I toured their Pine Ridge
Landfill facility when I first moved here with my children. It is quite
advanced, and I'd encourage each and every school to tour their local garbage management facility in order to
educate our youth about ecology and the responsibility each of us have to keep
our home, island, world clean...

Grand Bahamian performer makes impact in Colorado and thanks his sponsors
DENVER, Colorado -- Grand Bahamian, Rico Thompson literally leaps for joy in Danahy Park, Northglen, Colorado as his funding from the Grand Bahama Power Company has been received.
Local boy, Rico Thompson worked diligently to secure enough funding to follow his dreams of performing, helping others and travelling the world. He arrived on cue at the Up With People Headquarters ready to face all new challenges and make an impact.
Speaking from his host family home in Denver, he said, "I am so grateful to all of my sponsors. I keep remembering all the people and organisations that have given me money and made this possible and I know that it wasn't easy for them to provide my funding so I am determined to make it count. I want to thank Grand Bahama Power Company who sent another cheque to help make up some additional costs that I incurred and couldn't anticipate or avoid. The whole process of fund raising really began my journey as I was faced with so many difficulties and rejection. I have learned that staying in integrity and never giving up, no matter what, really does pay off.
"I also really want to thank; The Lucaya Youth Theatre Society, The Freeport Players' Guild, The Paine Family, Mr & Mrs. Fingland, Sanitation Services, Freeport Oil Company, The Goodrum Family and the many anonymous people who have sponsored me. Every cent counted and I know people have gone without things for themselves and their families and I wouldn't be here without them."
