2. AVOID PLASTIC BAGS
• Avoid buying items packaged in plastic. ...
• Use cloth shopping bags. ...
• Skip bottled water.
• Say "No straw, please.“
• Avoid disposable tableware, or use the
compostable kind.
• Don't just discard electronics.

4. Littering: Visual pollution
• Plastic bags when improperly disposed of,
end up as litter on our streets, countryside
and beaches where they are particularly
noticeable and unsightly – hanging on trees,
blowing across roadways, accumulating in
water systems, sewer drains and in our
oceans.

6. Impacts on biodiversity
• Plastic bags are of major concern in the
marine and other aquatic environments, as
aquatic life can be threatened through
entanglement, suffocation and ingestion. Sea
turtles, dolphins, whales and other marine
species often mistake the plastic bags for jelly
fish and end up choking.

8. Obstruction of drains and waterways
• Plastic bags when improperly disposed of, are
carried away by the winds and get stuck in
drains, gutters and watercourses, resulting in
floods during heavy rainfall or storm water.

9. CARRY YOUR REUSABLE BAG
• To reduce the impacts of plastic bags on our
environment, we have to minimise their use and
promote environmentally friendly bags which
are long lasting such as cloth bags, tente vacoas,
jute bags, canvas bags and other bags made of
natural fibres.
• A variety of such bags are available on the local
market. They are very practical and also not
expensive
