Plastic Bags Ban

Plastic bags are one of the main causes of marine pollution, and the focus on plastic bag reduction is ongoing. Many supermarkets have stopped issuing plastic bags to customers, encouraging them to bring their own bags instead. Since we’ve become so used to the convenience of plastic bags, you may find this change a little bit inconvenient. Before you get pissed off at the supermarket, here’s the reason for this worldwide effort:

• Plastic doesn’t biodegrade. It’s forever. In the ocean, it breaks down and photo-degrades into little pieces of itself. Plastic sized particles outnumber plankton 6 to 1! It’s mistaken as food by marine animals and kills them.
• Plastic waste can be found everywhere. In landfills, in the streets, in the ocean. Only 1 to 3% is recycled.
• Plastic bags, which are made of polythene, causes pollution all its life – from manufacturing to disposal. Its production uses up 8% of our oil resource. Its manufacturing process is harmful to the environment and it remains toxic to the environment after you throw it away.
