Cavite says 'No to plastic bags'

Tuesday 4th of September 2012
TRECE MARTIRES CITY, Cavite, Sept 4 (PIA) -- The provincial government-Environment and Natural Resources Office (PG-ENRO) is set to conduct a motorcade this month to raise awareness on the “No to plastic bags” campaign of the provincial government.

Provincial Ordinance 007-2012 which was approved last April 10 by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) and signed by Governor Jonvic Remulla prohibits, regulates, and prescribes certain uses of plastics for goods and commodities that end up as residual waste and promotes the use of eco bags and other environment-friendly practices as an alternative. Violators will be penlized.

This ordinance is also known as “The selective plastic ban and the use of eco bag ordinance of the Province of Cavite.”

It is the policy of the SP “to minimize if not eliminate activities, products and services that generate residual waste and to promote practices that will support avoidance or reduction of residual waste generation in the province.” (CPG/RBF-PIA Calabarzon, Cavite)
