Release of sky lanterns and helium balloons now banned
The Manx Wildlife Trust says the Isle of Man becoming plastic-free is now an 'achievable vision'.
A consultation is asking the public for their views on whether the sale, and distribution, of single-use items should be banned on the Island.
The sale and release of sky lanterns - and the release of helium balloons - known for causing harm to the environment has now been prohibited here.
Chief executive Leigh Morris says it shows the Island can lead the way in combating plastic waste:
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
