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:

No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
