NICARAGUA has expressed interest in collaborating with Geo Pomona Waste Management in the employment of eco-friendly best practices, the Central American country’s Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Ms Nadeska Cuthbert, said yesterday.
The Nicaraguan envoy undertook a tour of the Geo Pomona Waste Management facility led by executive chairman and chief executive officer Dr Dilesh Nguwaya.
In an interview after the tour, Ambassador Cuthbert said both Zimbabwe and Nicaragua had similar operations, hence collaboration was imperative.
“We are doing a lot of the same processes, so I am sure that there is a lot that we can learn from Geo Pomona and share information between the two countries. And I am very interested also in the part of the production of energy because green energy is also another key aspect that every country needs right now,” she said.
The Ambassador also expressed satisfaction with Geo Pomona’s cutting-edge technology.
“I am very impressed. It’s an innovative work that is done here and it’s so clean also. There have been things that have come on the way and I can see the potential.
“I love hearing everything that was explained through the tour, especially the protection that is happening towards mother nature which is so important.
“The water processing, especially because you know the importance of water. Water is essential and in the future, it’s going to be something that is not easily found if we do not learn to protect it today,” she said.
The employment of eco-friendly practices, said Ambassador Cuthbert, had become ever-so-important globally.
She added that Geo Pomona was on the right path in ensuring the preservation of the environment.
“This project is key because you cannot protect the climate without a project like this. You know, it’s a combination of all because we all generate garbage every single day and it’s a problem that we have been facing for a while.
“And it’s a combination because we have to plant trees, but if you look at it here, they are doing everything.
“They are planting trees, they are protecting the underground water, they are recycling what can be recycled, they are using the extra waste for compost, they are using the rest for energy,” Ambassador Cuthbert said.
