Parkop considers plastic ban in Port Moresby

NCDC to ban Plastic in Port Moresby

The National Capital District is considering a ban on certain plastics in Port Moresby.

Governor Powes Parkop has announced his administration is working on cleaning up the capital and then improving people's lifestyles.

Mr. Parkop says Port Moresby has a big problem with people littering plastic bottles, bags and coverings.

"People just dispose it out of their car windows and you know, when they go to have lunch or just anytime they just throw it out of the window or leave it in public places and it clogs over drains and the waterways, and then it goes down to the shores at the sea. 

"It also contributes to environmental problems, and affect the marine life as well," Governor Parkop said.
