A guesthouse in Alif
Alif Rasdhoo, Rasdhoo View Inn, is the first in the island to ban single use
plastics with the introduction of a custom-made glass bottle to serve their
guests. The General Manager of Rasdhoo
View Inn, Hussain Simaau took the initiative.
He said, "We agreed
to stop using single-use plastics from today and we are happy to be the first
guesthouse in Rasdhoo to ban single use plastics."
President Ibrahim
Mohamed Solih has also started a campaign to reduce and minimize single-use
plastics. He states that with more than 280,000 plastic water bottles used in
the capital city alone, on a daily basis, the commonness of plastic such as
bags, bottles and wrappers in the Maldives is at a worrying level.
Taking after the
example which was set by President Mohamed Solih, Foreign Ministry also chose
an alternative to single-use plastic, with Minister Shahid launching a campaign
to reduce and minimize single-sue plastic in the Maldives Foreign Affairs, in
the efforts to protect and preserve the natural state of the environment.
