Local charity calls for Tynwald to act
The founder of an environmental group is keen for Tynwald to take preventative measures against plastic pollution.
Bill Dale believes a small, refundable deposit on bottles would reduce the amount littered across the Island.
He says plastic makes up around half the litter Beach Buddies clears off the coastline each year.
Mr Dale is now calling for action:
Police warn of potential harm of school WhatsApp groups
Officers increasingly hearing of situations where messages have led to arguments or bullying
Bus strike can be avoided if 'tangible offer' proposed, says union
Unite weighs in as minister says 'options on the table'
Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice today
The Mountain Road's likely to stay shut this weekend as a result
Arbory and Rushen Commissioners praise retiring Captain of the Parish
Local Authority says Raymond Gawne is a 'stalwart' of Arbory
