Picture
Plastic Free July is a global movement which aims to help millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution.  – so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities. 

In the spirit of Live ECCO we are continuing to make going green easy, simple and fun and exciting. We have created a weekly challenge for you. Under the theme of the 4R's: reduce, reuse and recycle + refuse, we will guide you on ways to lower your impact this month. 

​Here's a sneak peek:

  • REDUCE - Reduce the amount of plastic packaging you use
  • REUSE - Ordering coffee - Most cafes offer discounts when you bring your own mug
  • REFUSE - Refuse take out packaging made from plastic packaging that is NOT recyclable in Jamaica
  • RECYCLE - Start recycling today.​​

CARIBBEAN ENVIRONMENT WEEK OVERVIEW:

The Caribbean faces a range of environmental challenges. We already know the problems: decline in biodiversity; waste management and our “plastic problem”; the urgent need for sustainable development, not “business as usual,” as we move towards economic growth; financing for sustainable development; and planning and designing for a more sustainable future in our urban areas. The overarching, ever-present phenomenon of climate change is having an impact on every aspect of our economy and livelihoods; is the Caribbean building sufficient resilience and placing priority on disaster preparedness?

This inaugural series of discussions aims to provoke a free flow of ideas on some of the solutions to these issues. When the week is over, we plan to have some clear pointers for further discussion, planning, and implementation, which we will present to our expert participants and followers on social media. Moving forward!
