DAVAO CITY – The Davao City-based environmental group Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability called on public officials and employees to set a good example by adhering to the ordinance regulating single-use plastics in the city.
“It is very doable to enact the ordinance at government offices, such as passing resolutions or office memos reminding workers to refrain from using plastics in daily work, in meetings or in any procurement activities,” he said. “We need a transformative shift and cooperation with vendors, suppliers, store-owners and especially the citizens in aiming for a clean and zero waste Davao City,” he said.
In a statement last July 14, the group expressed dismay after learning that government officials and employees continue using single-use plastics.
