The Plastic Collection Drive seeks to create awareness amongst the people that garbage needs to be managed with the involvement of consumers and the visiting tourists in a systematic manner by adopting the most basic step of segregation at source. The CCCF proposes to organise such collection drives in October and in November so as to develop a regular program of collection by involving the Village Panchayat of Sernabatim, Vanelim, Colva and Gandaulim so that it would benefit every household in every ward of Colva. The house wise collection drive will cover the vaddo's of Grande Vanelim, Tolloi and Villanova and will involve the collection of plastic bottles, bags etc. The Consumer Forum Volunteers will visit the houses in these vaddo's to undertake the collection of the plastic already segregated and kept ready by the households. The Consumer Forum will also have a Special Collection Centre near the Colva Sub Health Centre, opp. Post Office on Sunday 14th September from 8.30am to 1.30pm to cater to the households of the other vaddo's who can bring their plastic bottles, bags etc. and deposit them at the Collection Centre. A detailed report of the collection drive is proposed to be sent to Mr. Menino D'souza, Director, Directorate of Panchayats and Mr. Michael D'Souza, Director, Department of Science, Technology & Environment, Mr. Elvis Gomes, Director, Department of Tourism so as to provide various resources to make the Garbage Management Committee of the Village Panchayat of Sernabatim, Vanelim, Colva & Gandaulim efficient, effective and to keep the beach and other tourist areas of Colva free from plastic. ------------------------------------------------------------ GOA CIVIC AND CONSUMER ACTION NETWORK ------------------------------------------------------------ promoting civic and consumer rights in Goa ------------------------------------------------------------ GOACAN Post Box 187 Margao, Goa 403 601 GOACAN Post Box 78 Mapusa, Goa 403 507 mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------
