2 4 6 8 Principle 10

"Saint Lucia and the Commonwealth of Dominica are the only two Eastern Caribbean countries that have not yet signed on to the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Declaration on Principle 10."  









I don't know why Saint Lucia hasn't joined Latin American and the rest of the Caribbean in voting for legislation that requires transparency of information, but I can guess!  When you're a young, beautiful country, life seems like it can go on forever. Resources seem bottomless.    Poison the rivers to catch crayfish?  Why not!  Leave the picnic trash behind when you head home?  Of course!  However, age and negligence have taken a toll on this island of abundance and the neighbors are starting to talk.
I gathered a small group of small students who care, and we recorded this radio jingle (click jingle to hear) to promote the adoption of Principle 10.  Though I had to explain the concept of advocacy, I did not have to explain the problem of litter on the beaches.
