They will also visit the 'university' Baba went to!

It works perfectly in Rwanda & Zanzibar but Kenya always gives excuses because the same people who benefit from plastic production are the same people who're supposed to support anti-plastic by laws. Until we let go of the greed and think about the future, the plastic ban is far from ever happening

Nakumat & Tuskys had tried the 'do not use plastic bags,but the green re-useable bags' thing.. But sasa after you buy the bag and head home with your shopping.. Shida usually comes the next time you come in with that kaBag for Reuse, yaani first the watchie at the main entrance treats you like you're smuggling something into the supermarket(and you know the way watchies can be intimidating), then the packing guy at the cashier's frowns when you unleash your kaBag,and sometimes gets a little confused when it comes to separating your shopping(normally by putting it into smaller plastic bags) and by the time you head home,you're not too sure the entire experience is worth it(you still have small plastic bags in your environmental friendly bag). The supermarkets need to educate their staff about the reUsable bags first

Good Initiative.Lets support it with ideas so that iy works then we csn replicate it in other counties.

Nyeri is going places. Potholes not an issue infact, more tarmac is being laid as we speak.
Kudos Gachagua, though the coffee ideas is silly

I have seen biodegradable plastic bags in Europe. Why can't our bag manufacturers adopt the same?

Hii ilifika wapi?

ION, C&P: Uganda's National Environment Management Authority (Nema) backed by the police and the Uganda Revenue Authority raided supermarkets and impounded packs of polythene bags (kaveera) as a ban on their use took effect.

The officials, headed by Mr Tom Okurut, the Nema executive director, launched impromptu operations at various supermarkets around Kampala to ensure the stakeholders were implementing the law to conserve the environment.

“We are enforcing the law and proceeding with the ban on buveeras that are below 100 microns. We had a meeting with supermarket managers in March and we must ensure compliance,” Mr Okurut told journalists yesterday.

Their first stop at Game saw 15,400 polythene bags confiscated after management failed to declare them to the authorities. But the floor manager, Ms Winnie Atyang, said they had kept them to wait for their suppliers to collect them on Friday.

p.s. plural ya kaveera ni buveera

Good move! This should promote use of sisal and banana fiber bags
