The sea cleaning mission ‘Suchithwa Sagaram’ launched by Minister Mercykutty Amma is a novel gesture. The waste plastic collection started at Neendakara and Sakthikulangara regions extending to Kochi, Alappuzha, Kozhikode coasts, is also welcome.
The waste plastic could be crushed and used for road construction and for that an immediate co-ordination between various departments is needed. The mission gives awareness to fishermen to do away with the practice of throwing plastic kits to the sea. The boat owners getting 2000 sacks to collect the waste from sea is an added attraction.
And if this mission is extended to land also more and more people will come forward to collect plastic wastes. Carry bags, milk packets and sacks are available in plenty at school-college compounds, markets, worship places, festival sites, and road sides. If they get a reasonable price also for plastic waste more people will collect and sell it.
