Island-wide recycling scheme being considered
Government is currently conducting a ‘carbon audit’, as it considers the viability of recycling across its departments.
It comes as the chief minister laid a anti-plastics report before the court at this month's sitting.
The proposal, which wants to ban selected items in two years time, will do so by deriving powers from the Climate Change Bill set for legislation in 2020.
Environment Minister Geoffrey Boot believes an Island-wide recycling scheme to include all local authorities, may form part of government’s plan:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Complaints process for health system changed
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
