Skip plastic bags, go the eco-friendly way


Prof Dr Lucy Lam brings her own containers to store market produce.

Efforts to stop using plastic bags started 15 years ago in Universiti Malaya Medical Centre consultant paediatrician Prof Dr Lucy Lum’s home, long before the Selangor Government kicked off its no-plastic bag campaign this year.

Since Jan 1, consumers in Selangor no longer get free plastic bags when they go shopping. It’s an extension to the state’s No Plastic Bag Day on Saturday campaign which started in 2010.
