Both are concerned with what is best for the Marshall Islands. They only differ in the method. Development of the Marshal! Islands should be the main concem of everyone living here. Don’t rely on the government, to give you everything. Work towards btm! Take a close louk around you, see all the cans on the street. Pick one up and put it in a trash bin. If every one does this there will be less trash, and if people will stop littering, that is one step towards making Majuro and the Marshall Islands a better place to live. The broken down cars and trucks. They also need to be taken care of. But, just how much landfill can be done? Recycling could be the answer. Which is more important -- color TV and video tapes or d spend money up- increase in the available water from the pevernment. This ts an caample of helping the government out. How many times do you have to wait for the water hour to fill up your containers. Why not make use of your own roof. Many people have already done so, but nowhere near a majority. Take a look at what the government is doing for you. They have started a new hospital construction in Delap. They are working on outer island dispensaries. It is up to you to use these facilities, before it is tou late, and that costly medical referral to Hawaii. Don't put off going to the hospital if something is wrong. Many have, some of whom are not around anymore. Above all, take the time to do those little things that will make the Marshall Islands a better place te live.
