"No Plastic Bag Day"

I do have a bad habit that is to take extra plastic bags when making purchases at hypermarkets. You must be asking me "Why are you taking extra plastic bags?". Greedy! Haha.. It serves as rubbish bag for me. If you have the same habit like me, then, you and me are reminded to bring our own recycled bags if not we will get charge Rm0.20 for each plastic bag taken when making purchases at supermarkets and hypermarkets.

The success of "No Plastic Bag on Monday" in Penang had saved 580,000 plastic bags in just 13 days. Penang as the 1st state to cut down usage of plastic bag announced that starting from 01-01-2010 no supply of plastic bags at supermarkets, hypermarkets in Penang, and Selangor with the same objective to reduce or minimize environmental problem also announced to implement the same. This implementation, definitely, can raise public awareness to protect our mother earth and spread "green" message to save our planet.

For our planet earth, let's stop the usage of plastic bags and pledge to bring and use recyclable bags when doing purchases and shopping at retail shops, supermarkets and hypermarkets.
