The Times of Zambia (Ndola)

FOR most ordinary folks in Zambia, talk about environmental issues is as remote and disinteresting as debating rocket science and most will just respond with blank stares whenever such a topic is brought up.

Glad to see that environmental issues are being addressed in Zambia. But don't just talk about poor people who need charcoal in order to cook and survive. How about talking about the mine company owners, many of whom are foreigners, raping the land by strip mining and pouring chemicals and other toxins into the watershed. Why can't the government regulate them or provide poor people with solar cookers or other environmental options.
