Waste recycling plant for big city makes sense

Seeing grown men and women in Port Moresby trying to earn a living but being badly treated in public places is a sad sight.
Aren’t there peaceful and more consensus ways to get the message across? Perhaps, buai sellers should be more responsible and ask their customers to throw and spit their rubbish into the bins provided by the NCDC.
On the other hand the consumers should be extra responsible for their rubbish (buai skin and spittle) and not spit around carelessly in public places and contribute to filthy and unhealthy sights around the city.
I support the attempts by several groups to clean the rubbish at the beach and have also given a hand. However, like buai rubbish, perhaps we need to mobilise and urge the appropriate authorities to build a recycling plant for the city.
The random cleaning does not resolve the issue. With a recycling plant, PNGeans can sort their rubbish and send in for recycling.
Having a recycling plant creates employment opportunities, makes residents more responsible, environmentally sensitive and lastly but not least we will be doing our bit to save PNG and act on global climate change, not just talk about it.
