| Volunteers from Solid Waste Management Cooperation | {Basseterre, 1 January, 2007} UNESCO Small Island Voice in collaboration with Solid Waste Management Corporation sponsored a Clean-Up Carnival Troupe for the second year in a row. The theme was Reduce and Reuse in 2007.
The Clean Up troupe followed the annual Carnival parade throughout part of its procession in Basseterre, on January 1, 2007, cleaning and picking up trash strewn about throughout the day in order to encourage others to keep St. Kitts clean. In keeping with their theme of Reduce and Reuse decorations for the troupe were made from discarded and recycled items such as water bottles, plastic soda bottles, cans, an old umbrella and an old food barrel. The troupe was equipped with trash bags donated by a local supermarket and wheelbarrows were supplied by SWMC.
Small Island Voice would like to extend its thanks to many sponsors who provided water and drinks, plastic trash bags
