The preservation of the natural environment cannot happen by chance or by accident or should we allow our neighbour to do it, the onus is on us as human beings,\u201d Mitchel stated.<\/p>\n<p>Public Relations Officer (PRO) at DSWMC, Rhoda St. John who gave an overview of the initiative at the media launch, said that the \u201ctimely\u201d campaign will ensure effective communication between waste management organisations and citizens as it is essential to the efficient operation of the management services.<\/p>\n<p>St John said that the first activity in the campaign is a competition among the primary and secondary schools, and the state college.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that the primary school students were given the task of designing a poster on anti-littering, \u201cwhere they use the poster and speak of what it is to not litter and how to dispose of your garbage properly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The high schoolers are being asked to create a slogan in the form of a jingle whilst the college students will write an essay no more than 1000 to 2000 words on the topic, \u201cHow does littering contribute to marine pollution and what are its effects on the Caribbean tourism industry?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All competitions will be judged via social media and other platforms.<\/p>\n<p>During the campaign, there will also be consultations, seminars and conferences catering to the various sectors of society and the business community.<\/p>\n<p>A seminar on May 6, forms part of activities where restaurant owners will be engaged in discussion with the DSWMC to be further educated on how to reuse, reduce and recycle waste from their establishments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery sector of society is important to us in waste management; we are trying not to leave out anyone for we know that waste is everyone&#8217;s responsibility,\u201d St. John noted.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the summer, the DWSMC will partner with the Business Professional Women (BPW) to host a programme for students\u00a0 ages 7 &#8211; 17 called \u201cUpcycle Like A Boss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the month of June, a cleanliness competition will also be held in the seven districts.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the role that bus drivers play in waste management and to ensure that passengers on buses do not litter, some of the operators will be appointed as litter wardens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the life cycle of the campaign, there will be videos made on proper waste disposal and best practices, and billboards with positive messages to be placed around the country, the creation of an app where persons will get into and directly relate to solid waste to voice their concerns, ask questions and send pictures of persons not adhering to the times of collection,\u201d the PRO stated.<\/p>\n<p>Other aspects of this campaign include a waste characterization study where the staff of the DSWMC will spend time on dividing the waste that comes into the landfill and determining the volume and the components of waste to be better able to direct the waste and manage it in that area.<\/p>\n<p>St. John disclosed that soon litter bins in the city will be replaced with a more upscale model.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will house components where you can place your cup and water bottles, a component for paper and for normal waste. Imagine, this bin will also have an ashtray for your cigars,\u201d St. John explained.<\/p>\n<p>The DSWMC PRO pleaded with the public to work with the corporation in achieving their outlined goals.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_266232\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-266232\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-266232\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhoda-St.-John-2-642x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhoda-St.-John-2-642x338.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhoda-St.-John-2-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhoda-St.-John-2-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhoda-St.-John-2-1536x809.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhoda-St.-John-2-640x337.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rhoda-St.-John-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-266232\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rhoda St. John, DSWMC Public Relations Officer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A six-month campaign by the Dominica Solid Waste Management Corporation\u00a0 (DSWMC) seeks to raise awareness\u00a0 on proper waste management\u00a0 and heighten the need for the preservation of the natural environment in Dominica.
