Inviting your ideas & suggestions for clean Himachal.

In view of growing menace of plastics waste, there is an urgent need to think for sustainable practices and prevent further environmental degradation being caused due to plastics waste thrown indiscriminately everywhere. According to a rough estimate, about 60-65 MT plastics waste is being generated all over the State per annum ( 10% of total waste generated) out of which only 2-3 tonnes (0.5% of plastics waste) is disposed of safely and rest is found open in the environment mixed with Municipal Solid Waste. The State Government has though imposed ban on use of carry bags, thermocol cutlery and is also planning to ban one time use plastics such as spoons, forks, knives, cups, plates, glasses etc.but it only accounts for about 30-35% of total plastics used, and remaining 65-70% of plastics is being generated from packaging etc. which still remains a huge challenge and that's where public participation is needed and we are inviting your ideas and suggestion to make cleaner and better Himachal.if you have anything in mind which can improve the cleanliness in the state please do send us your ideas on MYGov Himachal Portal. This is open till 20 March 2020 you can send us your ideas till 20th March
