Barbados is country that generates tons of garbage and we struggle to dispose of it. What is a circular economy? How can transforming to a circular economy help the country to improve?

We are a country struggling with food security and food sovereignty preferring (it seems) to satisfy local demand by importing.

Successive governments have talked a good game about utilising aggressive penetration of renewal energy. We continue to struggle with energy storage and regulating the sole utility electric company.

What about the coroner’s inquest into Emma McManus’ death which occurred in 2020? Four years later is this a case of the system suppressing an outcome at the behest of the rich and famous?

Is it true 1000 new vehicles are released on our roads every month? How is this sustainable?

The buzz for the rest of the month will be about the PM. The PM is this instance stands for Post Mortem. We sent a small team to the 2024 Paris Olympics. Our athletes didn’t medal and to be expected questions are being asked. The following comment was posted to the Sports Corner by de Pedantic Dribbler.

I find this stat from the Olympic medal table shocking as compared to my lovely Bim and my fellow lil islanders !

Read as Gold, Silver, Bronze.
India. 0 1 5

So we know Bim’s results … but little St. Lucia has 1 Gold, Jamaica had an off-year with only 1 gold in their six medals this year.

But how does a nation with 1.5 billion people produce those type of results!

Context: China with a similar population have 40 golds.

Now, India dominate world cricket so clearly they have an ability to establish grass roots sports program to develop talent which makes these other sporting deficiencies absurdly noticeable. 

My point, the realism of our athletes not meeting qualifying standards and lack of sporting facilities is surly a result of lack of will on part of the govt/sports leaders but it’s also a result of other variables … as India’s piss poor results exemplify.

The power of whataboutism. 

These are a few examples which should demonstrate we need to rollup our sleeves and get to work. This is our country!
