With the rains fast approaching, it is important for
people to be mindful that this form of "dumping rubbish" will result
in an avoidable major concern if we are to experience the quantity of rains we
received this past year. It is obvious that we do not have adequate drainage
facilities and the ones that are there are filled with rubbish too - so any
collation of water from the rains will obviously fill our streets and homes
resulting in loss of life and property. Current society regrettably are not
only arrogantly introverted but also take heed the morning after. We have ample time to make a
difference and contribute positively
to our environment by investing time into recycling our rubbish and
guaranteeing a toxic free future for our next generation. Thank you for
sharing.

Agree 200%
with you – I suggest you ask COH to provide you with their litter hotline numbers
and a protocol people can use if they witness offenders. A couple of
years ago I witnessed a van dumping office stationery by Country Club and took
photos of them, and their number plate and logo and sent it to COH and they
acted on the offenders. We have to be active but we do need help from COH.

To encourage recycling, if glass and plastic
bottles and for that matter empty beer and soda cans were returnable to supermarkets or recycling centres in exchange for a nominal
return reward, I am sure that this would go some way to alleviate the current
scourge of litter. J

Please will you mention or write something about people watering their
verges. Our borehole in Glen Lorne is already starting to splutter, but there are I
reckon about 10 people on Folyjon Crest watering daily.

We do clean ups on a regular basis in
Kariba – we have EXACTLY the same
thing so often, we have just cleaned up a stretch of road and hours later,
someone dumps all their rubbish, so infuriating! Great to see others do their
bit too – if everyone does a little each day, it would be a much better place to
live!! Kind regards Sonya

You serious
about burning rubbish? Please don't encourage others to burn their rubbish.
It's illegal and I for one am sick and tired of breathing burning plastic
fumes.
Take it to the dump by all means but expect to get harassed by
"officials" who try to extort $5 off
you for carting your rubbish because the City fails to collect regularly.
I pay for
private removal of rubbish. Very good rates and I deduct what I have to pay for
privately from the refuse collection charges levied by the non-performing City.

Don’t forget that the burning of household or garden refuse is illegal
as it is a major pollutant! People should use garden waste to make compost, of course.

To all
walkers/bike riders on Art Farm: be
careful parking your car at the gate on Harare Drive. This morning a friend's
car and another car had their driver side windows smashed and things
taken. Oliver

Australian Drug Problem: Hi Mike, interested to read your comments on the above - (which seems
to me an excellent idea) they are also trying to apply the same method in order
to avoid "benefit payments" being used to buy alcohol - a huge
problem particularly among the First Australians community . there seems to be
HUGE resistance from the recipients(protesting that they are being denied their
"rights" to decide for themselves how to spend cash doled out by the
Govt) - I can't help but think of all those 100's and 1000's of Zimbabweans
who would be over the moon to get regular, generous benefits at all -
whether in cash or card!!!! best regards Kate

If you can help it, DON’T drive at night
on the Harare/Mutare Road, especially between Rusape and Mutare. Cattle
roam freely there and often sleep on the road for warmth and I have seen
countless dead animals on the side of the road from traffic accidents.
