Single-use plastic is in the spotlight, as more and more people opt to reduce them. Places around the world like the U.K., Taiwan, Seattle, San Francisco, Montreal and Vancouver, are joining the plastic free movement. I believe that Malta should take part in this campaign. This means reducing straws, cotton swabs and/or plastic bags. When I asked Ms. Anne Camilleri the Assistant Principal who is also part of the EkoSkola Committee, she told me: “The school is encouraging students to get a re-usable cup for their milk instead of using straws. The school shall guide students to introduce these good habits in their home”.
