We are the ones who have made the environment toxic and more dangerous. It is our responsibility because we are the ones who throw waste anywhere even within our environment like in areas we live in and even at our places of work. We have a careless behaviour. We do not care about the people who will occupy the places we have been sitting in. We do not care about how they will be affected by the waste that we leave behind. When somebody chews gum and it loses its sweetness, they just place it anywhere leaving the person who will come to occupy that same place to be affected by it. We must be responsible citizens. Toxic wastes lead to poisoning. When the food we eat stays for some days, it becomes toxic or poisonous. The waste that is normally disposed from the factories becomes very toxic and when it is disposed in rivers and places where people get food from, they become poisonous. This amendment Bill therefore brings in a body that will work hand-in-hand with NEMA in managing the waste that comes from factories as well as the waste we produce at home. That is why I think this Bill has come at the right time. We need the Waste Management Council that will be dealing with this particular issue. The Waste Management Council will work with the NEMA. The NEMA has been doing a good job. They have been managing the environment and developers The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
