The Ministry of Environment has named the three most effective environmental policies implemented so far this year: making plastic water containers label-less, recycling transparent plastic water bottles separately and offering cheaper detergent for those who prefer refills over buying new products.
The ministry's special committee for "successful administrative cases" selected the three policies from ten candidates during a screening process that occurred April 13-15, based on votes by volunteers and government officials.
