Are we doing the best we can do to keep our Island clean? Answer: "Thanks to a lot of people who have been working to protect our environment (long before me) I think it is in pretty good shape for the moment, but as our population grows if we do don't look at new measures we are going to be in trouble.

"A lot of people take the environment for granted. An individual act may seem like no big deal but collectively it can be devastating.'' Question: What can the average citizen do to help KBB? Answer: "Each person needs to take responsibility for his/her actions. There are a lot of people who care about the environment but I don't think people care enough.

"On September 16 over 750 people gave up their Saturday morning to help clean up the litter that was left by others. They picked up over 12.5 tons of trash.

Do you think that these individuals who left this trash behind were responsible or did they take the time to look at the accumulative impact? I doubt it.''

Answer: "Never let yourself be limited by what others think of you, Be strong in your convictions and do not purposely infringe on the rights of others.
