ENVIRONMENT: Bring your own bag while shopping
By : L. CHUAH, Penang

THERE have been many reports that our country plans to stop using plastic bags in the future. But the question is, when?

Here's an idea. What say we come up with a directive to all hypermarkets, supermarkets and shopping complexes to stop giving out plastic bags on the first Saturday and Sunday of every month?

Shoppers will be required to bring their own bags. Yes, it might slow businesses down, so how about encouraging these three types of outlet to have sales on the weekend?

This might kick-start the habit of using our own bags while shopping.

Once this habit kicks in, we can increase the number of days every month when businesses do not give out plastic bags to customers.
