the statistics shown less plastic bags used.

But they didn't look at how many plastic bags/rubbish bag sold. 🤦‍♀️

Yup I don't see that statistics too. Sure now market give out less bags but now people are buying the bags so what the difference?

3 years later Amy Khor/ Grace Fu will tell you our landfill is filling up fast.

That's when people start throwing away all the re-usable bags and containers due to wear and tear.

Meanwhile the number of plastic bags going down the chute remains the same.

I.e. the re-usable bags and containers are "extra" and actually adding to our carbon footprint.

And we are seeing more littering and spillages on roads and public transport and in parks and void decks because ppl are consuming/ holding food and drinks with their hands without bags.

imposing charges on plastic bags actually hurt the environment more while adding to our cost of living.

Want to really save the environment?

Get out there and catch all the litterbugs esp in areas frequented by foreigners and you will greatly reduce plastics getting into our drains and water systems.

Want to save our landfill?

Have less renovations and vehicles including pmds/ pmas/ ebikes.

Construction debris/ wastes and tyres cannot be incinerated and are jitao dumped into our landfill.

One car tyre will exceed many folds the incineration wastes from plastic bags I use in my life time.

That’s the whole idea
Making u spend more
Else who funds the ivory tower

It’s the idea of WEF - destroying your hard earned $$ while making sure you can’t do anything about it.
Wait that sounds like a Mafia gang…

I try not to pay for plastic bags. If I can't carry them with both my hands, I don't buy anymore.
But when I buy from local shops that don't charge for plastic bags, I buy more.
Did supermarts get less business, bcuz they greedy to charge for plastic bag, maybe ?
