Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte has expressed the collective hope of city leaders around the world to address the global crisis of plastic waste or plastic pollution that has adverse effects on the environment. ManilaBulletin
“Let us recognize the power of cities, acknowledge our accomplishments, and empower us with the necessary tools to continue championing the call against plastic pollution. Together, we can forge a future where this is but a distant memory, and our planet thrives in its full glory,” Mayor Belmonte said during the United Nations Environment Programme in Paris, France on Saturday, May 27.
Among these measures were the prohibition of single-use plastic bags and disposable cutleries, straws, and cups in restaurants and fast food chains for dine-in customers; and banning single-use containers and sachets in hotels. “While we as cities are proud of our respective achievements, we recognize that we cannot address the plastic waste crisis alone. We need a truly ambitious global plastics treaty that unifies our efforts and sets a high bar for all nations to follow,” she explained.
