Is it possible to live without plastic?
This is the urgent question that Plastic Noon Gotheh (a way without plastic) is tackling head-on. It firmly advocates a life without plastic – at least single-use plastics. “We are a group of like-minded people who are advocating alternatives to plastic. We want to reduce the usage or even ban single-use plastics in the Maldives,” says Hudha Ahmed, the coordinator for PNG.
PNG came into being in June 2018, as a project.
“[The] UNDP [United Nations Development Programme] has a Global Environment Facility [GEF]’s Small Grants Programme for NGOs that tackle environmental issues, so we partnered with [the] Maldives Authentic Crafts Cooperative Society (MACCS) and started this project to reduce the usage of plastic bags.”
