After listening to a radio programme I wish to
make a plea that conservational and environmental affairs be included in the
final
constitution.
With correct control and by-laws the natural riches
of the country will and should be preserved for all South Africans and future
generations.
Many problems would also be addressed such as health hazards
caused by air, water and noise pollution. (end of page 1)
Proper
implementation of by-laws to address the current high road deaths and accidents.
Drug and alcohol consumption.
Excessive air pollution, controlled traffic
of sea, mines and estuaries,
The flora, fauna, mountains and beaches all
along the coast will and should be preserved for all South Africans to
enjoy.
Preserve the game reserves, encourage local people to be involved
and share in them economically.
Proper implementation of by-laws could
address: excessive air pollution, could be reduced by control of traffic
especially in residential
areas. Also factory waste.
Excessive noise
pollution, again traffic control. Reduce hours of pubs closing 1 1 pm.
Where loud live bands discos and games tables are supplied owner obliged to
install air conditioning and sound proofing. Patrons
tested t@for excessive
alcohol consumption if driving. Also control of noise in car parks etc. This
could reduce drunken driving
and road deaths and accidents. Residents less
disturbed ‑patrons have less time to over imbibe, will five to enjoy
another
evening, without harming others. Control mining sites. Preserve
mountains, shorelines and areas such as hikes at St. Lucia (end
of page
2)
To maintain open spaces and parks in residential
areas. Give each area a Green Lung for relaxation and a safe area for children
to
play.
These measures may go a long way towards improving the health of
all residents in the country and reduce the present high cost and
loss of
working days. Also safeguard the unique natural accents of the lovely
land.
I remain
(Miss) J R A Riley
