The Caribbean Foundation for Sustainability is considering filing a complaint at the police station and the prosecutor's office to prosecute the island government for having an illegal dump that poses a serious health hazard to a growing number of residents due to the continuing fires with their toxic smoke. The Lt. Governor and ROB department were warned in the past and are fully aware of the situation but for some reason this issue even after a proposal from the Fire Department to tackle this issue was never considered a top priority or the government did not communicate their efforts to the public. The government has a very important exemplary role for the community to adhere to the - unfortunately scarce and outdated -  environmental regulations that are put in place by the same government to protect the health and quality of life of the community.

Despite all the talking about cleaning up the dump in the nineties the community is still faced with the this growing toxic dump so close to town. But the residents should also look at themselves as they never have taken a serious interest in protecting their own environment. If it is election time nobody even bothers with a serious government plan so what is there to complain?

It is important to notice that due to the small scale of the island everything is political which makes proper enforcement impossible. This is the reason the Caribbean Foundation for Sustainability has put enforcement in their statute as well and we are looking at ways to assist with enforcement.
