I'm unaware of Jamaica having an entity to reward creating important local documentaries ?? This one should be recognized and credited!!

Your video should be shown in all schools. We start with the youth. Thanks for sharing 💚

This production quality is better than more established local media by far! Thanks for illustrating how it's done. So tired of the lazy, low quality content in Jamaican media. I can see that they are trying, but it's still not good enough. I'm sure the excuse has always been that there is not enough money for high quality content (the excuse for everything of low quality in Jamaica). You are showing what can be done on a small budget, with good skills and lots of imagination. It's time for us to accept that we are competing internationally and rise to the challenge and stop griping and complaining about how things should be easier. Thank you so much for this!

Persons like yourself is why I am a proud Jamaican. As you always show the good here, even when highlighting a problem, unlike traditional media. Makes me remember our motto of out of many one people. Continue doing what you do to bring out the jamaican lifestyle as a person who is jamaican by love.

This makes me hopeful. I almost didn’t choose to come back to Jamaica to live because I was so tired of seeing all of the garbage (plastic especially) everywhere. I know I will be that person when I move back who is constantly collecting bottles. When we bought our land my biggest concern was the environmental impact and how would we recycle or deal with waste. Growing up Rasta I learned how to do without these things but now everyone uses bottled water which was not a thing in the 1980s. Thank you again Irina, because I love that place so much and this helps me to have a plan.

Excellent and invaluable video. Not only for Jamaica but for every country on the planet.

Thank you for raising this extremely important issue. I hope that Jamaicans take up the challenge to get involved locally. This should be a Jamaican tv documentary, and essential viewing in schools. I live in the UK but would love to know how I could get involved. Recycling is one of the topics that I am passionate about.
