Let this ban take force and gradually have a plan to replace all plastic bags used for industrial packaging. I fully support. Plastic usage affects majority if not all; the few who are opposed are the manufacturers

The biggest concern should be plastic water bottles. They are worse than the paper bags.

The only advantage the bottles have over paper bags is that they are recycle-able, but no one is doing that!

The ban should extend to the soda/water/juice bottles!!!!

Kenya can fix two of its biggest problems - bad roads and mounds of plastic waste — at once, if it embraces new technology.

The technology incorporates plastic waste in the construction of roads.

The roads, built from discarded plastic water bottles and polythene bags will not only be water resistant but also stronger, smoother and durable, Mr Balasubramaniam Swaminathan, the president of Enterprising Fairs India, said.

In fact it's negative effects are worse to many compared to negative effect of bhangi.
