Il-Gvern se jdaħħal liġi biex is-separazzjoni tal-iskart fid-djar u l-entitajiet kummerċjali issir obbligatorja.
Dan tħabbar mill-Ministru tal-Ambjent Josè Herrera waqt it-tnedija ta’ ‘Tetra għall-Istrina’, inizjattiva ambjentali minn GreenMT bil-għan li tkabbar l-għarfien dwar is-separazzjoni u r-riċiklaġġ tal-iskart u fl-istess ħin iżżid il-karus tal-Malta Community Chest Fund.
Il-Ministru tal-Ambjent qal li l-obbligu li wieħed jissepara l-iskart se jkun inkluż f’liġi ġdida dwar l-ekonomija ċirkulari li hi mbuttata primarjament mill-Unjoni Ewropea.
The mandatory separation of waste at source has always remained a myth because successive Governments have viewed this individual obligation as a vote loser in many ways. Why should the politician ask the individual resident to separate waste by obligation when the economy can easily afford the current landfilling fee. Why should we ask commercial entities to separate their waste when we have a booming economy and can easily afford the landfilling cost of what is being collected from their entities without any payment. Why should we enforce this scenario when as it is, the waste is land filled and soon enough a waste to energy plant will burn whatever is thrown at it?
Do we want the moaning and the groaning of the driving points system all over again and again? Not really, as politicians, they prefer not being pestered by phone calls from those who vote for them or prospective voters asking them to somehow help in cancelling a fine or a penalty for not separating waste or for not being responsible during driving.
