More than 20 local environmental groups in Taiwan have come together to call on the government to stick to their plan to reduce plastic waste.
“Cut plastics at the source. Do not ease up on the policy of reducing plastics.”
That was the call on Thursday from 20 local environmental groups. They are referring to a policy that the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) drew up with several local environmental groups earlier this year.
