But hey, some guy thinks that planting trees is like the one way to do something good for the environment:
| a quote from our very best commissioner: the man with the moneybag |

A Better Environment

You don’t have to be an environmentalist to notice that we have just a few more trees than usual being planted all around the island.
Take a look around Philipsburg, Sucker Garden, Belair, Maho, Fronstreet and Walter Nisbeth Road and you will see developing “forests” of Royal Palms; Tamarinds; Black Olives; Coconut palms and Bougainvilleas. It’s all part of the environmental plan that has seen more than 1000 new trees planted in the last three years.

The suckergardener really thinks it's all about trees!!
And this was all he had on his website about the environment...wow...he's really like such an intelligent person...but I guess you have to be a blockhead in order to be a suitable member of the Destruction Party.

Dearest Theo,
No, indeed, I don't have to be an environmentalist to notice the amount of trees. I just need a reasonably good pair of eyeballs.
It's the pollution, stupid !
Like LH wrote, amongst numerous other forms of pollution, there are dangerous chemicals invisible for the naked eye causing soil contamination.
Please open your eyes and take this issue seriously.

Good night and good luck!
