The Prime Minister
of The Bahamas
British Prime Minister Theresa May, speaking at the
closing Press Conference of the CHOGM, said: "We are already seeing a series
of commitments that can mark a breakthrough in the battle to save our oceans." And she announced that The Bahamas is one of the countries that plans on
banning plastic bags this year!
As it’s Earth Day
today, this announcement was a very opportune one!

I live on the coast (UK) and we always saw several plastic bags dropped or washed up. Since a small charge was introduced for them in all the big chains and supermarkets it's now very rare to see one.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful, Patsy! We're being encouraged to bring regular cloth shopping bags to supermarkets, some of which are even giving away the free bags.
