Just because you can’t walk on it doesn’t mean that clearing the land won’t affect your part of the island. This is a 22 square mile island and I think sometimes people loose sight of that A LOT. What happens to one area on 22 square miles will most definitely affect the whole island in some way. Remember the land, animals, and trees, can’t speak up for themselves so its not the land’s fault that they did that in the twenties, so the land shouldn’t be viewed as a commodity, rather a palce that affects all ecosystems of the island.

TPC’s comments don’t change the fact this land was/is zoned not to be built on for a reason…respect the island – don’t destroy it for your own financial benefit.

Top 15 ways to preserve the Green Environment

1. Develop green environment awareness among your family, community and friends, locally and globally.
2. Join a local environmental group in your area. If none, you organize one to promote environment-friendly programs.
3. Join the petition to your local or national government to lessen greenhouse gas emissions.
4. Plant a tree or any plant in your backyard. Plants consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen we need.
5. Segregate biodegradable and non-biodegradable garbage in separate container.
6. Recycle non-biodegradable stuff in your house like plastic container, plastic bags, bottles, etc.
7. Avoid or minimize burning anything as it produces carbon dioxide.
8. Minimize use of motor cars that uses fossil fuel like crude oil, natural gas and petroleum gas.
9. Donate to environmental group to support their earth-friendly programs.
10. Conserve water and electricity, if they’re using fossil fuel.
11. Practice car pooling for vehicles that use fossil fuel. Make an arrangement with your neighbors to use your cars alternately for going to and coming from office.
12. Use solar-powered appliances and equipment.
13. Avoid wasting papers or printing, if not necessary. Papers are made from trees.
14. Use plastic or metal products instead of wood for building houses, offices, and other structures.
15. Work at home and make money with earth-friendly money making ideas.

Top 5 Tips to Make Money By Promoting Green Environment

1. Grow flowers and plants and sell them in your community.
2. Make decors from recycled plastic and glass items and sell them for profit.
3. Offer car transport with other car owners in your neighborhood for a fee on a weekly or monthly basis.
4. Plant vegetables in the backyard for your own consumption and sell the excess to your neighbors.
5. Create a web site that promotes green environment and make money online with Adsense, environment-related affiliate products or from donations from earth-loving people.

And to think the very party that said “they want to take you back to the plantation” is letting them build where building is prohibited even further shows us that the PLP is NOT grass roots in any way, shape, or form! They are more of the same as the UBP with the exception of a few new social programs that will eventually be scrapped or taxes raised on us due to the government being BROKE.

Why not just let them do it?! I mean shoot, its not like we can go down there whenever we want anyway. We havn’t been allowed down there since the 1920′s so already this is a slap in the face. I’d rather something be built there that I can go to and stay over night than have a nature reserve that I’m not allowed to view. Sort of defeats the purpose.

I watched Trippe on VSB last night, and formed the opinion that he really thinks most Bermudians are stupid. Hopefully, our Senators do not prove him correct!

What I haven’t seen or heard from Mr. Trippe on behalf of Tucker’s Point Club is any level of respect that the lands they want to build on (and profit heavily from) are our ‘protected’ lands. They are far too blinded to their own wants that I feel strongly that they cannot be trusted to be telling us a true story.

The vast majority of these responses from TPC conveniently ignore the points BEST was making, favoring instead to portray TPC as a modern day savior and guiding lght for Tourism.

You can put lipstick on a pig. It is still a pig.

Sorry TP, no matter how you dress it up, it still won’t fly.

The Link between Bermuda Properties and the Old Act is just a shuffle of paper^^

“To take this land away from Tucker’s Point and the predecessor company who have owned it for more than 60 years would be a travesty of justice which would be the death knell of Bermuda as a member of the global economic community.”

… or maybe it would just be a bad business model coupled with poor timing [in terms of global economic downturn]… A ‘travesty of justice’!? Really!? Wonder how the owners of Newstead feel about that!

TPC PR machine is in full effect…
