Saying ‘no’ to plastic bags is in the bag


BEGINNING next month, consumers in Selangor should treat every day as Saturday. That is probably the quickest way to adapt to the state government’s move to ask all retailers to go plastic-free from 2017.

Because Saturday has been “No Plastic Bag Day” in Selangor since 2010, most of the people in the state are already used to the idea that shopping on that day of the week is different in the sense that they are expected to do a bit more to take care of Mother Earth.
