   Guyana has garbage disposal problems. What do we do with our garbage?

   Guyana does not have the proper disposal containment and recycling programs available to reach the entire population. Given that reality the only option is to burn fro now. I know, i understand the implications and enviromental hazards but this is just reality. Teaching people to use less disposable plastics could be a start. It all comes back to wanting a better guyana and believing in the value of others and the country.
   On a personal note, a year or two back i was i Denver, Colorado. Denver is a meticulously clean city. I was siting down on a street bench when out of nowhere a piwece of candy wrapper flew by…low and behold a passerby stoped bent down picked it up and tossed it into the nearby trash.
   Since i came from NY, it was pretty normal to see garbage on the street and do nothing but not in Denver. Why? Because the people who live in Denver feel that they have personally invested in their city and the local government has personally invested in them. How about that!! a mutually fair deal
   Can this translate to Guyana? absolutely!! But which group will be willing to start the process, the gov or the people?

   So these companies purchase carbon credits so they can reduce the carbon dioxide in one area only two pollut another area? They do know it’s not leaving the atmosphere and it’s going to remain right here? With all these scientists we have over at CERN recreating the “Big Bang” in a laboratory environment and that’s how we save the world? Through carbon credits?

   What large companies have always depended on is the reliable stupidity of the the general public and this carbon trading market is just another way of keeping big polluters in business. What do executives of fortune five hundred companies care about other than their stock options and but they are the ones making the decisions. They are the ones with the big retirement porfolios and houses in the Hamptons, condos in Manhattan etc…
