If there is one thing we all have in common it's waste. We use it, try to loose it, but we have to find a way to deal with it.

With no sanitary landfills in the country, waste management in Jamaica becomes a huge issue for our homes and communities, even affecting livelihoods and worsening disasters.

We talk to Theresa Rodriguez-Moodie, CEO of Jamaica Environment Trust and Senator Sophia Frazer-Binns, Opposition Spokesperson on Environment and Ecological Heritage about the impacts of these systems and our hopes for the future of waste management in Jamaica, beyond this election season.
