Public urged not to turn cemeteries into dumps

The EcoWaste Coalition on Friday urged the public not to leave litter in cemeteries during this year’s observation of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.

The group issued the 10-point “Cemetequette” to promote environmental responsibility among cemetery visitors, stressing that the irresponsible dumping of garbage in burial grounds is disrespectful to the dead, as well as to the living.
