Tackling Kingston’s Largest Pollution Problem


In Kingston, Jamaica the government is working on fuel diversification in order to fight climate change in the country.  Their focus is on the use of renewable options that are sustainable, like the increased use of solar energy—sunlight is in no short supply in Jamaica.  They are also investigating the use of waste-to-energy activity and hydropower.  These forms of renewable energy will cut down on air pollution as well as their carbon footprint; which better complies with international conventions on climate change. 
Although the amount of cars in the urban city is still an issue, this is something the government can actually change.  The abundance of trash is one of the country’s confrontations to the environment, and investing in a way to turn that into energy is a great step in the right direction.  It’s honestly surprising more people don’t embrace the use of solar power, bravo Kingston, bravo!
