SIV
CARNIVAL TROUPE PROMOTES NEW "CLEAN UP" CULTURE
Basseterre,
St. Kitts (January 05, 2006): Spectators were given a positive
environmental message when UNESCO Small Islands Voice in collaboration
with the Solid Waste Management Corporation (SWMC) put on a special
troupe on Carnival Parade Day, January 02, 2006.
The
troupe, which came to the rear of the parade, "performed" behind
a banner bearing the theme "Small Islands Voice and SWMC in the
Carnival Mix, Promoting a new 'Clean Up' Culture for 2006."
The
"performance" consisted of SIV members and SWMC representatives
collecting the trash left behind by Carnival performers and spectators.
Wearing latex gloves, SIV representatives used rakes, shovels
and wheelbarrows to collect the debris before placing it in garbage
bags which were then put in the SWMC garbage truck.
The
Department of Health's Parks and Beaches Unit also collaborated
with SIV by lending the "performers" the mentioned tools.
