Castelsardo and Elmas become “Plastic Free” municipalities
The two Sardinian cities among the 68 awarded throughout Italy
It hadn't happened yet, but now even Sardinia can boast two "Plastic Free" municipalities. These are Castelsardo and Elmas , which have complied with the five criteria necessary to obtain recognition: the fight against illegal abandonment, awareness of the territory, the management of urban waste, the performance of virtuous activities of the institution and the collaboration with Plastic Free onlus, a voluntary association committed since 2019 to combating plastic pollution.
Only 68 "virtuous" Italian municipalities , compared to 360 candidates: they will be awarded during a ceremony that will take place on 11 March at Palazzo Re Enzo in Bologna.
«In this second edition», declared the president of Plastic Free Luca De Gaetano , «we celebrate the commitment to the environment and to future generations of as many as 68 municipal realities. Rewarding those who are concretely at the forefront of creating a better world has become one of the priorities for our non-profit organization. I thank the Sardinian administrations for the importance of their commitment to the environment which we have certified after careful analysis».
