In 2017, Guam welcomed close to 1.3 million tourists, who arrived mostly from Japan and South Korea, according to the Guam Visitors Bureau\u2019s 2017 annual report.<\/p>\n
These visitors sought to enjoy the beautiful views of sunsets, beaches, and other scenes Guam has to offer. Some of the more adventurous tourists rent cars to drive around the island, seeing the symptoms of the problem of illegal dumping.<\/p>\n
Those who choose to visit Guam\u2019s nature spots such as One Thousand Steps at Fidian Point or Marbo Cave may be welcomed with piles of trash at the entrance or alongside the trails.<\/p>\n
\u201cIllegal dumping is not just a Guam thing,\u201d said Nicholas Lee, public information officer of the Guam Environmental Protection Agency.<\/p>\n
Although efforts such as the Coastal Cleanup and other non-profit organizations which help with trash around the island, the problem continues, especially in low traffic areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019ll take an island-wide effort,\u201d Lee said. He also mentioned that the reasons why residents choose to dump illegally vary, and range from the inability to afford services from Guam Solid Waste Authority to having a lack of knowledge regarding the consequences of illegal dumping.<\/p>\n
According to Australia\u2019s Environment Protection Authority , when people dispose of their trash improperly, they not only harm the environment but also create more hazardous issues \u201cwhen hazardous chemicals are involved, they can harm the environment by polluting land and waters.\u201d<\/p>\n
