Dear Editor,
With reference to a letter ‘LCDS will not fly in its current form’ (SN July 30), I must thank the writer for putting the LCDS in such a clear perspective.
It provides much more information than all the government ads. Certainly much more should have been done by the government, via the print media, to sensitize Guyanese about this issue. Secondly, the comments and ideas displayed are so practical and rational that it highlights the fallacies and improprieties of the LCDS. After all, how great an impact can Guyana make with us having just 0.4% of the world’s forests. Indeed we have to pick sense from nonsense here.
Apparently, it all boils down to what monetary returns Guyana can look forward to, as opposed to, or in contrast to, whatsoever so little we as a nation can actually do to reduce carbon in our already clean atmosphere. This strategy may be more appropriate for those industrialized countries whose emissions are indeed worthy of notice.
Yours faithfully,
M.S. Baksh
