Eco Bags Are Cool, Plastic NOT!

Reusable bags or better known as 'green' bags today, are really earth's life saver. If only people use them more religiously, that is.

Some supermarkets and departmental stores have already printed their own eco bags and selling them. And people DO buy them. The question is, if people are using these bags to serve the purpose of its very existence?

Well, these same supermarkets and retailers in Malaysia are still giving tens of plastic bags away for free aren't they? So where's the real need for 'green' bags, right??!

The purpose of this campaign is therefore aimed at sorting out this incongruity. A need must be created. And this only happens when there're no plastic bags to be given out anymore.


Real People, Take Action!
Plastic bags are so cheap to produce, sturdy, plentiful and easy to carry. People drop the bananas in one plastic bag as they reach for another to hold the detergent. The chili sauce and instant noodles will get one too, as will the lipstick.

Now we all can't live without plastic. Some more dependant on it than others....but if consumers learn to re-use the bags they accumulated, and retailers commit to reduce their spreading of plastic bags, many many environmental problems can be solved.

Are your plastic bags sitting balled up and stuffed into the one that hangs from the pantry door? Do you use them to line your bathroom trash bins? Perhaps you carry your soiled clothes from the gym in them too? Then, if you were unaware at first, you're contributing to cluttering landfills.

Like candy wrappers, chewing gum, cigarette butts, and thousands of other pieces of junk, millions of the plastic bags end up as litter. They flap from trees. They float in the breeze.
Once in the environment, it takes months to hundreds of years for plastic bags to breakdown. As they decompose, tiny toxic bits seep into soils, lakes, rivers, and the oceans.

They clog roadside drains. They drift on the high seas. They fill sea turtle bellies.

So if you're plastic, you're definitely NOT cool!
