    "content": "This is a sign of lack of environmental appreciation. If we involve the local person in environmental management, this will stop. Water sources in this country have completely become extinct. Some water sources that used to provide a lot of water have become extinct because of siltation. This is an environmental problem. Therefore, involving the local person down there will enhance understanding and make people know that it is from the environment that we get our livelihood and daily bread. Managing our environment as envisaged in this Bill will ensure that while we engage in economic growth and development, we will do it responsibly. We, the present generation, will consume the environment where we get our input in production. We will use it more responsibly to sustain our present wants without compromising the wants of the future generation. Sustainable and responsible utilisation of our natural resources is something that we must be alive to. This particular Bill, if amended and implemented as stipulated here, will ensure that, that will happen. With those remarks, I support this Bill."
