Globewriter comments on a Senate debate about a clause of the Children's Bill “involving a clause that includes buggery”; B.C. Pires adds: “The People’s Partnership of UNC [United National Congress] MPs [Ministers of Parliament] yesterday refused, despite urgings from Independent senators, to decriminalize same gender sexual activity between minors - even while ploughing ahead with decriminalizing the same activity between boys and girls. If ever there were a plain human rights issue, sexual orientation is it.”

what are some recycling issues that are facing barbados?
There are many issues that we face……. Our gullies and ocean and filled with waste especially plastic waste. We have no long term solution to our waste problem only short term solutions (land fills). We have very little active recycling on the island and little legislation to stimulate prvate sector recycling. Thanks for bringing up the issue.

Where is this at?
Is there a website that informs the Barbados public what forms of recycling there are and the numbers for contacting all re-cycling sources?
