Major pa lang... not MAJOR MAJOR!
Using plastic bags is a big NO-NO in this time of waste management crisis, we witnessed how plastic bags be a major factor why "Ondoy" tragedy happened. We also see how it continuously destroying our environment by not properly throwing our garbage or recycling the bags.
To prevent continuous flooding and help the waste management crisis in Metro Manila and near by provinces, the DENR, other government agencies and NGOs, and big malls and supermarkets signed an agreement to promote the use of reusable bags every Wednesday starting this week. So customers who'll use a plastic bags in their grocery shopping will be charge and those customers who'll use "eco-bag" will give incentives for their effort.
The following malls and supermarkets who participated in the memorandum agreement:
-- Ayala Malls
-- SM
-- Ever
-- Isetan
-- Robinson's
-- Hi-Top
-- Makro
-- Savemore
But why once a week lang? Reusable bags like the eco-bag are very cheap and I think Z-listers can also afford to buy this fabulous and eco-friendly bags.
Now I can use my eco-bags that I bought and some are gift from my friends...YAY!!!
