Guest Mary Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 remember when the sales clerk used to ask ...PAPER OR PLASTIC? not anymore...you have to ask them for paper...if they even have it.... :crybaby: cloth bags cost less than a pack of cigs .... a happy meal ...a bottle of wine ... a six pack of beer ..... a rented movie or.... if you don't regularly spend money on one of these luxuries.... mabe try picking something that you spend money on ...on a regular basis..that you can do without once a month, and buy a cloth bag with it... the less we need plastic ... the less they will make... plus we won't have tons of bags laying around the house, that we are trying to find a use for... also if you do have a bunch of plastic bags that you want to get rid of... try the salvation army store and other stores like it...they can always use them...untill we run completely out of them :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alice29 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 sad to say this but we still use plastic bags here in my place. there's just a particular mall here that limits the use of it once a week. but that's not enough. the government is now planning to ban it. :blink: :excl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think the banning of plastic is all over the Philippines. It is good for us to maintain the beauty of nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good for us to maintain the beauty of nature. really? so what about in your place, what are the people or establishments doing about this matter? i think they should be the one to take the first step if they want these dangerous plastic to be totally gone. and about those people who will lose their jobs on this kind of businesses the president should take care of them by giving them a new job.

pjbabia Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 it is easy for you to say but it is actually very hard for the government to fully implement. many are jobless, what and where jobs are these people have if they lost it? its really hard... you know..

B) government officials can handle it. they can give them other jobs. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) government officials can handle it. they can give them other jobs. B) as i said, it is easier for you to say that the government can handle it.. look around the entire country, many are poor. what does the government did? and now you want another sets of unemployed? and what kind of job should the government give to them? another plastic factory? did the president had completely solved the unemployment problem? and now add another burder... its not realistic for now. though we have a good president, he cannot decide on his own because there are many.... "corrupt" around him who perpetually influence him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
