October has been officially designated as Anti-Litter Month in Antigua and Barbuda, with a nationwide push to clean and beautify the island.
Throughout the month, communities, schools, civic groups, and government agencies will participate in cleanup campaigns and environmental activities under the theme “Love Where You Live.”
The initiative is designed to tackle waste management challenges while instilling a sense of pride and responsibility among citizens.
The government says the month-long observance will not only improve the physical environment but also encourage long-term behavioral change in how residents treat public spaces.
Activities will include island-wide cleanup drives, public awareness campaigns, and partnerships with schools and community organizations to promote environmental stewardship.
Officials say Anti-Litter Month will serve as a reminder that maintaining a clean environment is a shared duty that benefits public health, tourism, and national development.
We need to set-up a holiday for cleanup activities. The entire place is full of rubbish
Every damn month should be anti litter month. Some people to damn nasty
We need anti-litter everyday. Take a look at the country we live in, I could swear cooks dump is the whole country. One month? That’s ridiculous
We hear this every year, but how much really changes after the month ends?
Commendation to the government. A much needed effort. A beautiful country full of garbage is not sending a good message
Alot of the communities leading to the hotels are so populated with rubbish you wonder if anyone seeing the mess
Hope the government also works with businesses to reduce plastic waste. That would make a huge difference.
You need to come down Hatton and see nastyness on the way to Royalton.
Finally! This campaign is long overdue. A clean Antigua and Barbuda is a healthier, more beautiful place for residents and visitors alike.
And keep it clean! Tourists nor residents should have to contend with the catastrophic nastiness of the few. Ain’t nobody got time for dat!
One word. Hallelujah
This is a wonderful initiative. If everyone does their part, we can truly make Antigua and Barbuda shine.
