---------------------------------------------------------------- Consumer Plastic Collection Drive on 15th August at Cuncolim --------------------------------------------------------------- The Cuncolim Civic and Consumer Forum (CCCF) in collaboration with the Garbage Management Committee of the Cuncolim Municipal Council and with the involvement of the Consumer Welfare Clubs of the Educational Institutions is organising a Consumer Plastic Collection Drive on Friday 15 th August on the occasion of Independence Day from 8am to 6pm. The Plastic Collection Drive will promote the slogans "segregate plastic at source" "reduce, reuse, recycle plastic " for a Clean, Green and Healthy Cuncolim. The Plastic Collection Drive seeks to create awareness amongst the people that garbage needs to be managed with the involvement of consumers in a systematic manner by adopting the most basic step of segregation at source. Through this collection drive the CCCF along with the CMC Garbage Management Committee proposes to develop a regular program of collection by the Municipal Council which would benefit every household in every ward of Cuncolim. The Collection drive will cover all of the 10 wards of the Cuncolim Municipal Council and will involve the collection of plastic bottles, bags etc. The volunteers along with the CMC vehicles will visit every ward via the main roads to undertake the collection of the plastic already segregated and kept ready by the households in Cuncolim. Meanwhile an intensive preparation for the drive has begun with distribution of leaflets, display of posters & banners, announcements by the Heads of educational institutions, mobilization by teacher co-ordinators of the Consumer Welfare Clubs (CWC's) and appeals to communities at temples, churches, chapels & mosques to co-operate in the plastic collection drive. There is good support & determination from the Chief Officer and all the Councillors of the Cuncolim Municipal Council to make the collection drive a grand success. A detailed report of the collection drive is proposed to be sent to Mr. Daulat Hawaldar Director Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA) and Mr. Michael D'Souza Director Department of Science, Technology & Environment so as to provide various resources to make the Garbage Management Committee, efficient and effective for the future action plan. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Press Release from Cuncolim Civic and Consumer Forum (CCCF) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ GOA CIVIC AND CONSUMER ACTION NETWORK ----------------------------------------------------------- promoting civic and consumer rights in Goa ----------------------------------------------------------- GOACAN Post Box 187 Margao, Goa 403 601 GOACAN Post Box 78 Mapusa, Goa 403 507 mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------
