I believe Krem radio or the Krem media empire is the most responsible media house in Belize and I love you guys for that. keep on keeping it real Mose and Sharon on The Wake Up Belize Morning Vibes.
Opening coastal areas to offshore oil drilling is a shock to many and we have to protect our waters from a disaster like in the gulf. We need to wake up Belize and have a major culture change and curb our dependence on oil and disastrous energy waste in Belize. We need to seek to protect sensitive ecosystems from oil pollution and promote maximum conservation to curb dependence on all fossil fuels. If people did not buy so much oil or so many new vehicles, the economy would be rapidly transformed, albeit with serious adjustment difficulties due to the economy's hypersensitivity to the car and related industries. Yet, we must make the transition to a sustainable society the best we can, in hopes of minimizing damage to the Earth and ourselves. Some of us see cultural change, such as no more new oil drilling, as integral and inevitable. Oil dependence will end, as weird as that appears to corporate interests, as part of creating a sustainable society.

Definitely we CANNOT afford to have any form of off-shore drilling ... leaders always say it is good for the economy but the reality of that is that the money goes to the pockets of a few not of the poor people yet in the event of any environmental disaster it is the poor who suffer since they got to stay in the filth and pollution but the rich can afford to migrate or live better.
