Default Go Green T&T- Reusable bag promotion

As my country,Trinidad and Tobago approaches developed country status, it is imperative that citizens do their part to move the nation to achieving this goal.
Development must not be made the sole responsibility of the government. For any permanent improvements to be made, a unified effort, involving each individual resident is required.
True developent necessitates not only infrastructural advancements but an evolution in our thinking in order to sustain this growth.
Communication advancements have resulted in increased awareness of environmental degradation, the almost inevitable side-effect of industrialisation.
Trinidad & Tobago has been blessed with a natural environment that is perfect for Eco-Tourism, a sustainable source of revenue that could take us into the future way beyond petroleum, which is now the country's main resource.
Our natural environment faces a number of threats that we have the ability to remove or diminish by the choices we make as consumers.
One of the chief threats to our environment is the ubiquitous plastic bag.
Individual change, no matter how small, when done on a nationwide scale, has the power to make a huge difference.
Go Green T&T is an organisation committed to empowering the citizens of Trinidad & Tobago through educating the public on the problems our natural environment faces and working with concerned persons and groups to develop solutions.

Hello Damion Suite, and welcome to SustainabilityForum.com



While I can’t say that I am familiar with your organization, your stated objectives sound very timely and positive, and as a fellow citizen of Trinidad & Tobago, I wish you the best!


Regards,
Karl

Hello Karl, thanks for your welcome and words of encouragement. Go Green T&T is a new organisation.Our first major venture occured just last month at the International Clean-Up Campaign. We were able to participate in five (5) beaches througout the island, attracting a total of forty three (43) volunteers under our banner. At Last years campaign, plastic bags accounted for just over ten (10) percent of the total debris collected from the nations coastlines. Coincidentally, it also accounted for ten (10) percent of the total debris collected internationally. It is events such as these that really drives the point home as to how inconsiderate we have become to our environment. Last year, an entire vehicular "engine mount" was left on one of the beaches.This highlights the level of ignorance displayed by some of our citizens and the need for a strong campaign to enlighten our nation as to the impact on our future generations. Generally speaking the event was well recieved, as many different corporations encouraged their staff to participate.
Go Green T & T is in the process of developing a website to highlight such issues ,and to foster the gathering of like minds towards the environment. I would like to possibly meet with you to discuss further.

Many thanks Maxie!

The thing is everyone is doing there part no matter how small, in there corner of the world,
But forums like this take all those small parts and puts them in an "eco-pool" where like minds can share ideas, in the joint hope of playing a bigger role and having a bigger impact on sustainable living in today's world.

All the best to you and your endeavours.

Regards,
Damion.
