Goa to ban plastic bags from May next year

The  Government  of  Goa  has  decided  to  ban  plastic  bags  in  the  coastal  state  from  May  next  year,  said  the  Chief Minister  Manohar  Parrikar  on  Goa  Liberation  Day. He  also  said  that  they  aim  to  make  the  state  garbage- free  by December  next  year.

Parrikar  said  that  ‘Swachh  Bharat’  and  ‘Nitol  Goem’ (Clean  Goa)  are  on  top  of  the  government’s  list  of  priorities. Claiming  that  the  state’s  economy  is  also  dependent  on  cleanliness,  Parrikar  said,  “If  we  keep  our  surroundings  and beaches  clean,  more  tourists  will  visiting  the  state.”

We  commend  this  initiative  particularly  considering  how  much  plastic  ends  up  in  our  seas  every  year!
