WILLEMSTAD - Residents of the Dam Pretu neighborhood and surrounding areas have come together to form the Union of Residents of Pariba. They aim to find a collective solution to the problems caused by waste burning in their neighborhood. The organization is inviting all residents and activist groups in Curaçao facing similar issues to gather for a solidarity afternoon.
The goal is for "concerned patriots" to share experiences and ideas to prevent the problem from simply moving from one location to another. Anyone on the island affected by waste, smoke, or odors is invited to attend the meeting this Saturday at 5 p.m. at the Montaña community center.
The plan is to propose a national solution to the issue, including the creation of a map showing all locations where waste is dumped, burned, or disposed of. The meeting will last until 7 p.m.
