Aww the sight of clean! VG Island Wide Clean Up initiative did it
Yesterday Saturday March 1, 2014 was considered ‘Island wide clean-up day’ and businesses and residents did not fail themselves as they did what was necessary bringing out even the children to participate in the activity.
Today walking through the streets, up the hills and down the valleys reveals a totally different sight to the day prior. Coordinators and others were appalled at the large number of garbage that was collected.
“One thing that we have learnt from this is that we need to be more responsible in the way we dispose our garbage. We need to also be our own police and rebuke anyone who we see messing up our islands because today (yesterday) was hard work to clean up in the hot sun,” said one student of the St Mary’s Primary School.
Among the many that were active in the island wide clean-up initiative was STARR Home and Gardening Works, Valley Sound Lions and Leos and St. Mary's and Cedar School Students. The firefighters also coordinated their efforts to ensure that they take part as the cleaned from the entrance of the basketball court to the copper mine ruins.
Guavaberry Spring Bay Vacation Homes and Bowline Charters, the Virgin Gorda Easter Festival Committee, BFEC Secondary, the BVI Tourist Board, Village Cafe, and Virgin Gorda Village also got their hands into the cleaning exercise.
The Rosy's Crew, The Rosewood Little Dix Bay Group were visible in full force and the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) Police officers station at Virgin Gorda chose to participate in the clean-up to mark the ended their police week activity.
This is an initiative many said should be like a “common cold” across the islands of the VI Territory.
