Land, Mines and Energy Minister Eugene Shannon has expressed the need for the implementation of the environmental policy for present and upcoming generations.

Speaking at the close of a weeklong workshop on the Environmental Legislation, Minister Shannon mentioned hoeing of grass, fused gas caused by old vehicles, the dumping and spreading of defective vehicles in swamp and street places as some conditions that pose threats to the environment.

He said Carbon monoxide from old vehicles pollutes the air, thereby, posing threats to humans and animals that live in the environment. He also asserted that grading or hoeing the grass in the environment for a building project was responsible for making the soil to lose its quality; thus, making it to become fragile with different unfavorable colors appearing in it.

Minister Shannon added that after clearing the grass and following the project’s completion, it would be better for the grass to be replanted and slashed regularly in order to prevent erosion and sweeping of soil’s nutrients.

He noted that old cars dumped in swampy areas or left in street corners also pollute the water system and there was a need to remove them from the streets to be dumped in a particular location where they would not affect the environment.
