Bullet Tree Community Cleanup | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The Bullet Tree Falls Sustainable Summer Camp had a community clean-up campaign this weekend.  They also had a clean up yesterday at the Bullet Tree swim spot.  Betta No Litta!  They are imploring everyone to leave only footprints.  

 

"Today was an important day of our “1st No-Plastic, No-Styrofoam Kids Summer Camp, 2018”. We held the community cleanup activity, through which we seek to create awareness in our children and their families, that we are all responsible for keeping our village clean. That we should not expect anyone else to come clean it up for us; and most importantly, so that children can see that most of the garbage being generated in the village and thrown on the streets, in the culverts and drains are SINGLE-USE PLASTIC AND STYROFOAM.

 

I thank all the kids who participated, as well as all the parents who came out to support their children this morning. I also thank the Protected Areas Conservation Trust (PACT), for supporting our camp, but also for joining us today in our community cleanup, in the person of Mrs. Joyce Tun. We highly value and appreciate your continued support. In Bullet Tree Falls, we really need to start making a collective effort to solve the garbage problem that this village has! If we don’t make the positive changes today, we will be facing some very challenging health and environmental issues in the very near future."
