If you happened to be in town yesterday in the afternoon, you would have met a modest procession of cadets, platooned according to schools, marching in honour of World Environment Day, which happens to be today.
World Environment Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment. Another resolution, adopted by the General Assembly the same day, led to the creation of United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP).
The Environment Cadets, led by Environmental Education and Information Officer in the Ministry of Works, Transportation and Environment Carole-Faye George, marched through town yesterday, just one of the numerous ways you can celebrate this event, to bring awareness to people.
The main message is that we need to take better care of our environment, our natural resources, even right here in Antigua & Barbuda.
Over the last few years there has been evident change, spearheaded by the Environment Department, in people's attitude to the environment. Simple changes have included more disposal units throughout town discouraging people from littering, as well as conscious efforts by more citizens to recycle.
The Cadet programme in the schools was designed to educate and involve school children in the care-taking of the environment, making them realise that they're not too young to get invovled or take an active interest, and that the environment is their responsibility as well.
Schools participating in the march included the Grace Christian, Christian Faith and St. Joseph's Academies, Mary E. Pigotts, Ottos Comprehensive, All Saints Secondary, Princess Margaret, Antigua Grammar and Antigua Girls' High Schools.
Beginning in 2004 with the Ottos Comprehensive School the Environmental Cadets have since become a revered association in the schools, and student participation continues to grow.
You may remember the Eco-zone competition in 2005 which included challenges such as the kyaking and fungi making challenges. The Ottos Comprehensive School were the champions of the competition. The other schools will have the chance this summer to throw the throne during the camp which takes place from 16 July to 17 Aug.
