Dear Dominic,
I got a bit confused when you said garbage plant in the subject, and then say
dumping ground on a hill in the body of the message. Both are entirely separate
processes.
The problem is people confuse the two and as a result good projects get stalled
too. Dumping grounds all over Goa need to be closed at all costs, however
Garbage Plants are much better. However, Garbage plants can also have problems
too, and this is especially prevalent when faulty choice of technology is made
due to kickbacks and corruption.
I'm not saying that the scrapping of the project was bad or good. That's a
different matter. The fact still is that garbage is still being generated at
the village level too, and nothing is being done about managing it. But please
don't confuse the terms, as that appears to create a negative feeling among
people even with good waste management projects.

GARBAGE PLANT AT GAUMVADDY SCRAPED
At the Gram Sabha meeting held on Sunday, September 27, 2009, the Sarpanch of
Anjuna-Caisua Panchayat agreed to scrap their plan to use our hill as a dumping
ground for garbage.
The whole credit goes to Gaumvaddy youth who took up the matter and followed through
until the plan was dropped. The youth is our future!! So, let us prepare and entrust
them with responsibilities. The elderly and senior citizens like me should extend
their full support and guide the youngsters in their missions.
Recently, Gram Sabha meetings have become one of the most powerful tools in the
hands of villagers. Let us grab this opportunity and use it whenever there are
issues to be addressed in our communities.
As the old adage goes.........'Together we stand, divided we fall!'
