CABINET NOTES-<\/strong> Two weeks ago, the Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda <\/a>declared October as National Anti-Litter Month<\/a> in support of a National Cleanup Campaign (NCC), a multi-agency initiative spearheaded by the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force (ABDF).

The NCC was launched in response to the urgent need to address improper waste disposal, derelict vehicles, abandoned houses, and illegal dumping sites which threaten public health and degrade the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rapid assessment carried out by the ABDF identified 31 derelict vehicles, 31 abandoned houses, and 2 illegal dump sites in just one sector of St. John, underscoring the scale of the challenge.

Under ABDF <\/a>leadership, with support from the National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA), the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Education, and community stakeholders, the campaign is being rolled out nationwide in three phases:

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Preparation \u2013 Mapping priority sites, issuing notices, and securing equipment.

To drive public participation, schools have been encouraged to organize student activities promoting anti-litter practices, while national influencers\u2014including soca artistes and sporting personalities\u2014will join a marketing campaign throughout October and beyond to raise awareness and inspire community involvement.

The Cabinet commends the ABDF <\/a>for its leadership in mobilizing this national effort, the NSWMA for its operational support, and the Ministries, schools, NGOs, and citizens who are joining hands to create a cleaner, healthier, and prouder Antigua and Barbuda.

\u00a0

Citizens are called upon to take active part in this month-long effort and beyond, ensuring that the fight against litter becomes a lasting cultural shift.

\u201cTogether, we can protect our health, preserve our environment, and strengthen national pride.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
