Anti-Burning Campaign Hits the Streets

On Thursday March 30, the Jamaica Fire Brigade, Forestry Department and RADA joined us to launch the Anti-Burning social marketing campaign with a road show. With high energy from the Vibez Mobile, patrons and passers-by in Papine, Cross Roads and Yallahs are now aware of the Natural Resources Conservation (NRC) Environmental Protection Measures Order 2016 which prohibits open burning in 6 of our island's watersheds between February 1 and October 31.
