There was an annual Back to School Treat and Health Fair in the Mona Commons Community courtesy of The Lions Club of Mona and Mona Social Services last Saturday, August 17, 2019.
Eye Testing, Blood Sugar and Blood Pressure Tests were conducted.
The Lions Club of Mona continued to keep busy in their community last weekend with their Bottle Collection and Recycling Project, a partnership with the Church of Ascension.
Plastics contribute to a large amount of solid waste and take many years to break down in landfills or the ocean. So recycle and help to reduce landfall, conserve energy and conserve the environment.
Kudos to the Lions Club of Mona, Mona Social Services and Church of Ascension, as they continue to build a better community.

Millions of straws are used worldwide per year.
A person uses 38,000 straws in a lifetime.
A straw takes 100 years to degrade.
Straws affect thousands of animals in the sea.
See how a plastic straw prevented a turtle from breathing properly and how hard it was on the turtle when being removed. Watch video here:
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND STOP USING STRAWS
Alternatives if you like using straws

There are plenty of alternatives to disposable plastic straws available if you like slurping a smoothie or shake. Many retailers today stock glass, stainless steel and bamboo straws. Biome has a huge reusable straw range that you can check out. Keeping one wrapped up in your handbag is also an option.
Educating your friends and family about how dangerous straws can be, will help motivate them to make the switch to straw-free.
Saying no to straws seems like such a simple action, and it is. But actions like these really do make an enormous difference to our environment.
Just remember, that straw could end up in a turtle’s nose!

Wisynco promoted their ongoing Recycling ‘Eco’ campaign at Expo Jamaica a few weeks ago.
Plastics are not biodegradable, so they do not disappear or break down naturally when they are thrown on our streets and wash down into our gullies, blocking drains. To help prevent flooding and keep Jamaica clean, we need to recycle.
You can start your own recycling journey by calling Wisynco today to get Recycle bags and bins for your home, office of curbside.
You can also drop off your collection of plastics to the following locations:
