General
Belize is a spectacular country rich in
teeming
jungles, lush rainforests, dry pine savannas, tangled mangrove swamps,
and dynamic coral reefs. It is truly one of the best examples in the
New World Tropics of a species rich, biologically diverse country and
is a leader in conservation initiatives.
On the other side it is estimated that Belize produces
approximately 350'000 tons of solid
waste annually from domestic households and commercial establishments.
This means that each person living in Belize produces approximately two
to three pounds of solid waste every day.
With so much garbage, illegal dumping has become a serious and growing
problem in Belize. Abandoned garbage is not only
an eyesore, but the sites that are not cleaned up can lead to a number
of health and safety concerns, which fosters a negative image to any
community.
