We can even recycle the newspapers, ma cartons and shredded papers that companies throw away. I don't know why this idea keeps lingering on my mind.

There are many uses of plastic bags. Example Sugar companies pack sugar in plastic bags. Will they now pack in paper? And what will the cost be to manufacturers to change the packaging machines?

Good stuffApplause

@2012, Paper is easily recyclable and we can grow more trees(actually a chance for people to start serious tree farming). The main challenge we currently face with plastic bags is lack of proper waste management and recycling ideas/options and of course people littering all over the place especially in rivers and drainage systems!

Time for the sisal market to be revived! :)

I feel like we already have the solutions, when I was younger Sugar, omo, was packaged in manila and paper boxes, Nakumatt has those cloth reusable shopping bags, cartons were used when you bought many goods at the supermarkets, don't know if it's healthy but meat was wrapped directly on newspaper, kiondos should be cool again, straw buskets,

My local supermarket has already voluntarily stopped using plastic bags. If you've purchased a lot they will give you a cardboard box but for smaller shopping they encourage you to buy a reusable bag like the ones Nakumatt sell.
In a place where thought is abandoned, freedom can become a curse.
