Addressing the significance of the activity, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Public Infrastructure et al., Mr. Darryll Lloyd stated:
Today we wear green to bring attention to environmental issues that affect people all around the world. The Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities and Domestic Transport is pleased to support the initiative of the Department of Environment as it continues to sensitize and inform us about such issues, not only of a global nature, but those that are real to us because we see and feel their collective impact on our lives and our livelihoods. World Environment Day is an opportunity to inspire others to reflect on the importance of the environment. Indeed, we are grateful to play a part in that.
