SOAPBOX EP8_Plastics and Doubles - What the Country Missed by SOAPBOX Caribbean

I know we’ve been apart for a little while BUT I’m back with Episode 8 and just two more episodes to go before we end Season 1. While I was out, two things have taken over national attention in a way that is astounding: 1) Massy Stores’ move to charge 50cents per plastic bag and 2) whether or not doubles vendors should be taxed. I wish that these weren’t still news items. In fact they should not have attracted the kind of media circus that they received in the first place and in this episode I’ll tell you why.

Trinidad and Tobago, let us stop being distracted by non-stories or the wrong aspects of the story, let us hold our journalists to account and let us focus on the REAL issues. #GETonyourSOAPBOX and please make you contributions meaningful!
