With environmental issues such as pollution, acid rain and climate change now centre stage at many international and local platforms, corporate T&T is being called upon to offer more than just lip-service. Koreena Denoon-Smith, production manager of Recycle in Motion, (RIM), said it’s time for more action and less talk on the part of corporate Trinidad when it comes to preserving the environment. RIM, based at Champs Fleurs, collects plastic waste from donors to send abroad to recycling companies. For the past three years, RIM has provided recycling bins for several schools. Come September, it plans to expand the initiative to the University of the Southern Caribbean in Maracas, St Joseph.

Despite assurances that spraying would begin yesterday, millions of mosquitoes were seen buzzing in the stagnating salt marshes of Icacos, bringing work on the agricultural fields to a complete standstill. The mosquitoes settled like a thick black blanket on the fields.

At the St Quintin Estate, coconut worker Sandra Khan sat on a wooden bench outside her home, praying the Government authorities will fulfil its promises to spray the land. Fisherman Victor Lemessey said they had difficulty in getting their boats out to sea because of the cloud of mosquitoes. It was only yesterday that Works Minister Jack Warner announced spraying had started but there were no signs of that when news teams visited the area. Because Icacos is located under sea level, the entire peninsula is covered with pools of stagnant water, which breed millions of the deadly insects.
