Following the lead of Rasdhoo View Inn, another guesthouse
announces that they are to ban single use plastics. Shallow Lagoon Rasdhoo
began their adaption of this environment-friendly practice with the use of
glass bottles.
With the rising concern for the number of single-use
plastics being used in the country, President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih too
launches a campaign to minimize the volume. He states, "With more than 280,000
plastic water bottles used daily in the Capital Male alone, the prevalence of
plastic such as bags, bottles, and wrappers in the Maldives is at a worrying
level."
Along with President Solih, Ministry of Foreign Affairs also
chose an alternative to single-use plastic. Minister Shahid launched a campaign
to minimize single use plastic in the Maldives Foreign Affairs, as an attempt
to protect and preserve the priceless environment the island nation is blessed
with.
