Dear Editor,
I have recently been heartened by the efforts of the authorities to effect safe energy production by the supply of solar energy units to various areas, although I feel that we need to further make use of this by introducing these to the households via panels on their rooftops, as well as industrial and commercial units. This would not only contribute to lower energy costs, but would also help the power company to stop or lessen the need for blackouts, which have been especially bothersome in recent times.
What I think should also be energetically pursued in this effort at environmental protection is the proper disposal of garbage, which we all know to be continually polluting our surroundings. It is so disgusting and disappointing to see plastic and metal containers piled up in our communities, contributing to the wastage of our natural resources and also being unhealthy and unsightly.
I have previously advoated for our garbage to be disposed of properly by separation into various categories: recyclable items, which would tremendously benefit our manufacturers in the reuse of these items; paper, and other combustibles, which are disposed of by burning and placing into garbage sites; and other household waste, which can be turned into compost.
I sincerely hope that the relevant authorities seriously consider this, and so make an exceptional approach to this means of environmental protection.
Yours truly,
Roy Paul
