GreenGoa, an online network of environmentalists and green campaigners held a workshop on Re-utilizing & Recycling Waste in Goa at Mineral Foundation, Velho Building on the 5th of May 2008.
Clinton Vaz, an environmentalist based in Goa spoke about recycling systems that are presently functional in Goa such as plastic carry bags, milk bags, PET bottles, Glass Bottles and more. A presentation on waste management was given to the participants on how one can manage and reduce their waste. Tania Anselmo, a young environmentalist from Portugal who reuses waste by creating useful items like jewellery, bags, purses etc in Lisbon, taught participants how to create wallets/purses out of used tetrapacks instead of it going to a landfill site! Over 30 participants from various places such as Mapusa, Chinchinim, Margao etc attended the workshop. A number of young children too attended the workshop and thereby learnt how to create useful items out of the waste that they generate. GreenGoa is an online environment network.
