On Monday, 25 November 2019, representatives of the European Integration and External Assistance Coordination Unit of the Mat Municipality held an informative activity to say ‘Stop to Disposable Plastic Facilities’, which are used for a few minutes, but need up to 200 years to decompose.
To raise citizens’ awareness, representatives of the Unit held meetings with various traders in the city of Burrel, who also expressed their concerns about the use of plastic bags.
Traders have also expressed their concern on the fact that citizens are still not aware of the maximum efforts needed for the reduction of the plastic bags usage and the introduction of other non-harmful materials to the environment.
The European Union has taken an important step to protect the environment and fight against pollution. The EU has adopted new rules that by 2021 will put out of usage the single-use plastic facilities and Albanians should benefit from the same level of environmental protection. #NoToPlasticBottles. #TodayForTheEnvironment #theMunicipalityWeWant
