Olivia Grange, Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport
Jamaicans are being encouraged to participate in environmental protection activities today, as the country observes Labour Day.
Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia Grange, is encouraging volunteers to collect litter from streets, parks and other public spaces.
The minister also suggested collaborating with the municipal corporations or non-governmental organisations to plant trees in parks, schoolyards or on barren land.
Additionally, she says volunteers can replant native vegetation and clean and enhance nature trails, with educational signage about local flora and fauna.
Other initiatives proposed include teaching community members how to grow their own vegetables and herbs at home, or even starting a community garden.
Labour Day is being observed under the theme Protect the Environment: Our Land, Our Duty, Our Future and the slogan, Jamaica Nice, Protect Wi Paradise.
