FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – March 24, 2010 – The Miss Earth Jamaica organizers urges Jamaicans living at home and those residing in the Diaspora to show their support for climate action by turning off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour.
Jamaica’s Environment is off balanced so warns Earthbound Company Ltd, the only local company that specializes in 100% biodegradable food containers, utensils and packaging. To promote and spread the need for Eco awareness, Earthbound Company Ltd launched an infomercial aptly titled JAMAICA ENVIRONMENT – OFF BALANCE. This infomercial was the brainchild of Managing Director Yolande Rattray-Wright.
