The Private Sector Commission (PSC) is calling on all Guyanese to uphold cleanliness in their surroundings and embrace sustainable waste management practices.
In a release yesterday, the PSC bemoaned the fact that each year, millions of dollars are diverted to cleanup efforts, resources that could be better utilised for critical national development projects. It noted that as Guyana continues to position itself as a leader in sustainable development, littering and illegal dumping present significant environmental risks and public health concerns, directly counteracting the country’s green initiatives.
As such, the PSC urged local authorities and townships to focus on the efficacy of the systems that are covered in law to fulfil their responsibilities. The release also “strongly” urged all Guyanese to refrain from littering and commit to supporting the relevant authorities in enforcing regulations to curb these harmful practices.
Together, the PSC asserted, “We can contribute to a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable Guyana.”
