Mechanical engineer Legena Henry converts sargassum and rum-distillery waste water to produce sustainable #naturalgas for vehicles.
“All the islands in this region of the Caribbean have a sargassum problem and a rum wastewater problem—and ultimately a #climatechange problem,” Henry told Nature. “This solution is a win-win-win.”

US Secretary of State Marco #Rubio met with #Barbados’ Prime Minister Mia Mottley today. As recently as last week, Mottley spoke about the U.S. threat to take away visas from Caribbean leaders who work with #Cuban doctors. https://www.thestkittsnevisobserver.com/mottley-crew-in-jamaica-for-security-talks/

‘James #Drax, the family’s 17th-century patriarch, was not merely a plantation owner but the founder of a system of control and punishmen.

Arriving in #Barbados in 1627, he was instrumental in shifting the island’s labour force from white indentured servants to enslaved Africans. By the 1640s, he had devised the plantation model that would dominate the #Caribbean for centuries – a vast industrial machine, extracting staggering wealth through calculated cruelty.’

This week, #Barbados’s Prime Minister Mia Mottley gave a fiery address to parliament, calling the US stance “unfair and unjustified”.

“We could not get through the pandemic without the Cuban nurses and the Cuban doctors,” she said.

Trinidad and Tobago’s prime minister, Keith Rowley, warned that US interference in #Caribbean healthcare decisions was unacceptable.
