Goa launches all-out war against Plastic Pollution

DR. SNEHA GITTE, IAS Director, Department of Environment & Climate Change, Government of Goa

No wonder this small state is one of India's biggest and busiest tourist destination. Right from the 1970s, the state has been a popular spot for tourists who flocked here for the beautiful beaches, relaxed vibe and unique cuisine. This state attracts over 8 million tourists every year.

However, the glitzy and energizing tourism industry dumps around 8 metric tonne of plastic waste into oceans annually, causing a menace that must be tackled on a war footing. Located on the central west coast of the country, Goa's coastline spans just 105 km. However, its per capita plastic waste generation is 8 times higher than the national average at 61.2g per person per day.
