KEEP JAMAICA ... JAMAICA
BE INFORMED * GET INVOLVED * MEK UP NOISE * INVEST IN JA
* Start with yourself: Consume less, conserve energy and water, use fewer resources, drive less, fly less, eat low on the food chain
* Be informed about environmental issues in Jamaica - degraded watersheds, deteriorating water quality in rivers and the sea, dying coral reefs, destroyed wetlands, pollution and a range of unsustainable development practices such as mining, logging, high impact coastal development, inadequate sanitation and waste management
* Contact government officials and tell them that the environment should be the highest priority; notify them about things that are environmentally and socially harmful - Break the Silence!
* Be informed about planned developments not just in your community but all over Jamaica; be an active citizen, be informed and participate in public processes
* Spread the word – get your family, friends, neighbours and networks involved; contact the media with your concerns
* Support environmental organizations with your money, time, and expertise
* Invest and train Jamaicans in environmental processes, products, businesses such as waste management, recycling, organic and sustainable agriculture and fisheries, renewable energy, green transportation, protected areas management, biodiversity conservation
* When visiting Jamaica spend money in the local economy. Cruise and all inclusive tourism leak money from the local economy and tend to exclude local people and communities; don't visit tourist attractions which exploit workers, despoil the natural environment and misuse animals
Value, honor and respect Jamaica
