Embassy of Guyana in partnership with Beatouna Recycling Company recently launched a recycling initiative to encourage the recycling of paper, plastic, glass and metal among the Kuwaiti community. The Times Kuwait recently spoke with the Ambassador of Guyana H.E. Dr. Shamir Ally, and his wife Dr. Maryann Ally, to learn more about the initiative, which has been gaining wide acceptance among citizens and residents in Kuwait.<\/p>\n
\u201cGlobal warming is a real issue and the effects can be seen in many countries, including even in the Antarctic where conditions are worsening by the year on account of how people treat the environment. My wife and I decided to take up this recycling initiative to encourage people to recycle,\u201d said the ambassador.<\/p>\n
He disclosed how he and his wife initiated the campaign by first starting with the embassy. \u201cWe noticed that at our embassy, staff were just throwing out their trash without thinking. So we held a respectful and informative session to educate and encourage them to recycle the trash. We instructed them that actions reflected on the person and that they should take the extra effort to recycle.\u201d<\/p>\n\r\n
