In 2000 The Nation undertook to create an awareness of environmental issues such as was done for health. The Greening Barbados campaign was born and has propelled the paper’s involvement in a number of nation-wide programmes.

Thus far there have been, two major Green Expos, two nation-wide clean-ups, the publication of a weekly Green Page in the newspaper, a Green Line for Barbadians to call in their environmental problems, a garbage-can drive and an ongoing radio and newspaper promotional campaigns of anti-littering messages.

The project is coordinated in conjunction with a number of non-governmental, governmental organisations, and the private sector.
