“Before arriving in Saint-Martin, I recycled a lot, almost everything. I was even doing
compost. Here, it is more difficult given the delay in terms of sorting waste, but we must nevertheless continue to move in this direction, for the good of the planet and the future of all. For example, I no longer use plastic straws, there are now many substitutes such as bamboo or recyclable plastic straws, but we must all go in this direction, our elected officials included. " Steph
“I was very inspired by Pierre-Antoine Guibout who managed to recycle Sargassum to make sheets of paper and cardboard. He took his project to make bricks out of it as a new building material. Even if we can blame our islands for being behind in recycling, the fact remains that the ideas to change mentalities are there. Personally, I continue to sort on a daily basis without telling myself that it is probably useless, this way of thinking cannot last any longer. Sorting and recycling is a lifestyle that must be adopted by everyone, it is an education that we must pass on to our children but also to all generations. This is the only way we can reduce our plastic consumption and revolutionize the way we consume. " chrystelle
"There is no longer any need to prove that the fight against global warming and the preservation of
the environment is at the center of all debates. The reopening of the Galisbay recycling center has been a great personal relief, it is all the more essential to have a structure of this type in a territory like the island of Saint-Martin. There is still a lot to be done concerning the selective sorting of waste but the Saint-Martin population must be involved and demand that things evolve in this direction. " Alex
