Dear Saligaokars, I have been to Muscat, Bahrain, Kuwait and presently in Dubai. But trust me, it has been declared that Muscat happens to be the second cleanest city in the world after Singapore. I have read lots of emails on garbage issues and yes we can definitely emerge with a solution to eradicate this garbage menace in Saligao.
We cannot ban plastic items and start paper bags, no way!. No where in the world plastic is banned and there are no paper bags but garbage is handled in the right manner. Our Saligao Panchayat needs to play a very important and active role in this matter with the assistance of our local elected MLA. Tough job for him. Panchayat needs to recruit 9 labourers, one for each ward to be paid on a monthly basis. MLA's involvement is a must to bring in the required funds. No garbage tax please!. Each labourer needs to be given the charge of each ward to move around every nook and corner and start cleaning from 08 hrs until 17 hrs with one hour break for his lunch. This collection of plastic needs to be placed in garbage bags, tied and placed into the garbage bins. Before implementing the above we need volunteers from Saligao to start the campaign of "Operation Plastic Free" so that it will ease out the burden of the labourers and give them ample time to cover up the entire ward on a daily basis. This is what is happening in the middle east. They have duties starting from 07 hrs until 16 hrs and from 15 hrs until 12 midnight. We at Saligao can't implement these timings due to poor electricity problems and no proper lighting. We need to place large garbage bins every 100 meters at strategic points so that people can drop their daily house garbage well tied into these bins. These garbage bins needs to be picked up by the muncipality trucks before 06 hrs on a daily basis. Panchayat needs to educate the people on this front. They need to conduct weekly meetings in every ward, fix notices of garbage dumping procedures on every single door. They need to monitor their attendance by way of signing against their house numbers and make sure atleast one Saligaokar from each house attends, who in turn will guide the rest of the family members. Most of the MLA's should go on a tour at their own cost, to see whats happening in the other part of the world and that's how you grab ideas. Hoping this batch of MLA's will keep Goa clean.

To: saligao-net@googlegroups.com Date: Thursday, 15 March, 2012, 1:41 PM Garbage problem cannot be solved. To solve this problem we should first ban plastic completely. In village of saligao if we learn to dig a hole and dump in it the biogradable componnents we do not have any need to rid of garbage. beWe need to plant some trees around our house and dump the remants into it. Use paper bags . Use glass bottles instead of plastic bottles .The government must have a will to act. In Mapuca where we live in flats we have very little space and we cannot plant any trees because we are not the complete owners. But in villages every house owner is the sole owner and not a share holder albert -- Saligao-Net is at http://groups.google.com/group/saligao-net To post to this group, send email to saligao-net@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe email saligao-net-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com -- Saligao-Net is at http://groups.google.com/group/saligao-net To post to this group, send email to saligao-net@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe email saligao-net-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com -- Saligao-Net is at http://groups.google.com/group/saligao-net To post to this group, send email to saligao-net@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe email saligao-net-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
