Now designers of Kinodos need to design men friendly ones, not the ones designed to be carried at the back, someting classy like a lug-sack will do to stash a ka-Quarter, Unga Pima etc. Mafutaa taa ndio sijui itabebwa na nini.

Kitambo, sugar used to be packed in brown paper bags The problem is packaging of cooked food, meat, fruits I remember around 1995 at kariuki butchery meat was wrapped in a paper similar to what some chips restaurants pack their kuku, it's brownish, then we have the waxy paper eg the broadways bread, patchment paper, foil you know those they form in to packed takeaways, the paper plates and cups, for liquids we have java cups they are actually paper, so no end to solutions To Each His Own

... manufacturers of biodegradable bags that look exactly like plastic bags suffered a setback after govt said their produts can easily be counterfeited and that it'd be hard for enforcement officers to tell the biodegradable ones from plastic Link, tafadhali? Also, I support of the ministry of environment on this matter. It's been a long time coming, and let's not relent.

Have we even tried waste management? This is a very lazy mindset.We might as well ban cars to ease traffic jams.

Quote:Pastoralists have welcomed the plastic ban by NEMA and the Environment ministry noting they incur huge losses when their livestock die after eating the material at dumping sites.
They praised the government on Friday for the regulation that will be official from Monday. The items will no longer be manufactured, imported or used in Kenya.
"We lose millions of shillings annually when our animals die after eating plastics," one said, adding the environment will be protected.
