The island of Nevis marked a significant milestone with its first-ever Eco Day, held at the Malcolm Guishard Recreational Park on November 11, 2025. Organized by the Ministry of Tourism, the event brought together students, organizations, and the public to celebrate sustainability and promote environmentally conscious practices. Inspired by the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s (CTO) participation in CNN’s Call to Earth Day, the initiative aimed to empower young environmentalists to protect green spaces and adopt sustainable lifestyles. Vanessa Webb, Product Development Manager at the Ministry of Tourism, emphasized the importance of learning from past generations to live sustainably and safeguard the island’s future. The event featured exhibits on sustainable farming, renewable energy, marine conservation, and creative green innovations, alongside demonstrations of the island’s recycling pilot expansion project. Honourable Spencer Brand, Minister of Environment, highlighted the practical aspects of sustainability, urging the community to reduce waste, recycle, and support initiatives that turn waste into wealth. The Ministry of Tourism expressed gratitude to partners like the Blue Planet Alliance and the CTO for their support in making Eco Day a resounding success.
