DEFA Minister speaks ahead of Food and Drink Festival
The decision to ask attendees to bring their own bags and water bottles to avoid single-use plastic at this year's Isle of Man Food and Drink Festival is a policy that should be implemented across all government events.
That's according to the Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister, who's been speaking on Manx Radio's Breakfast programme this morning.
This year's event features a 'continued commitment to sustainability and the environment'.
It's something Clare Barber says is an important message that should be reflected in everything we do:
Isle of Man Medical Society welcomes health review, saying it's 'time to listen to doctors'
Police urge motorists to allow extra time on icy roads
MHK: Minister should resign if he disagrees with minimum wage policy
Manx farmer 'delighted' but aware 'far from out of the woods'
