‘No to Plastic Bags’: Gulf News launches campaign

Posted on April 11, 2008
Filed under: News |

Gulf News launches a campaign against the blight of plastic carriers. We encourage everyone to take part in activities to save the environment.

The Dubai Municipality has made an effort to resolve the problem. But more must be done by government agencies, local supermarkets, retailers and others in the private sector to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

Around one billion plastic bags are used every year in the UAE. They clog the country’s sewers and have disastrous consequences for wildlife.

People must be educated on the dangers of plastic bags and encouraged to look for alternative and safer solutions.

It is time to start saying ‘No to Plastic Bags’.
