![Page 7: Cedar schoollandfillbvi](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ed72bf1a28aba5798b4577/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A Graph To Show The Growth Of Waste Within The BVI In 1995-

Waste Management in the BVI
●The incinerator we have is too small - thats why we open burn our trash
●St John is complaining about the emissions
●Tortola, is 21.5 square miles and hilly
●Not a lot of space to put a landfill so Government chose an incinerator
![Page 9: Cedar schoollandfillbvi](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ed72bf1a28aba5798b4577/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Waste Management Problems in the BVI
●Visitors and residents produced 100-150 tons per day in season
●Incinerator on Tortola can only burn 40 tons per day
●Cannot handle glass or metals or hazardous
substances ●Except waste is burned behind the incinerator
causing toxic emissions ●New incinerator will burn about 100 tons per day.

Landfills in the BVI
●4 unlined landfills on Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost van Dyke and Anegada.
●Environmental impacts from leachate ●Virgin Gorda state land + 10 yrs●Jost Van Dyke private land - 1 yr ●Anegada state land 20 years. Public pressure to
relocate away from residential zones. ●Tortola – current site full ●New landfill on Tortola would require special
engineering US$12 million 5 yrs

WE NEED TO ACT NOW!
![Page 15: Cedar schoollandfillbvi](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ed72bf1a28aba5798b4577/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
WE NEED TO REDUCE,REUSE AND RECYCLE
![Page 16: Cedar schoollandfillbvi](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ed72bf1a28aba5798b4577/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
REDUCE by...●Composting at home and school
●Grow your own vegetables
●Say "NO" to styrofoam
●Take your own reusable bags to the store
● Refill water containers
●Go paperlessothink before you printouse evite.com
![Page 17: Cedar schoollandfillbvi](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ed72bf1a28aba5798b4577/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
REUSE by...●Using reusable oplatesocups ocutlery oshopping bagsowater bottles
●reusing wrapping paper and bags ●reuse old jars for freezing food
●using both sides of paper
●Donating things you no longer need to charity
- You can use the same plastic bag over again instead of throwing it away.

RECYCLE
There is currently no recycling in the BVI. What you can do is: ●write a letter to Government requesting recycling
●support non profit Green VI who are working on a
recycling plan www.greenvi.org

What we did!
Landfill group actions
![Page 20: Cedar schoollandfillbvi](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ed72bf1a28aba5798b4577/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
To see how much Syrofoam waste Cedar produces we collected andsorted lunch waste for 4 days
![Page 21: Cedar schoollandfillbvi](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ed72bf1a28aba5798b4577/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Action 1: Styrofoam art
In four days we
collected 59 Styrofoam products
That is about
3,000 styrofoam
products in a school year!
![Page 22: Cedar schoollandfillbvi](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062523/58ed72bf1a28aba5798b4577/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Action 2: Make Cedar Styrafoam free
●The action will be finalised next year
●Carol has already switched to plates for high school - thank you! BEST OPTION!!!
●Replace the styrofoam containers with biodegradable
products.
●Greentech donated selection for lunch ladies to test
●Assess product and price
●We hope this action is successful and that it can be shared with other schools.

Biodegradable containers●cause less emissions when burned
●do not become litter
●can be composted
●contain no harmful chemicals
