Honestly, Vietnamese people have a habit of using plastic bags everywhere. Just go around the market, you can have up to 15 large and small plastic bags in your bag. That is too large a number and directly affects our living environment.
With the policy of saying no to plastic bags that has been applied extremely effectively in Cham Island, I did not see a single plastic bag on the island even at the market. I think that has greatly contributed to the conservation of Cham Island.
We have this habit in the Philippines too. Which is sad sometimes because it contributes to so much trash and people seems not to know how to dispose, reuse or recycle it properly. I hope we will have same policy to be implemented. For now,. I use a lot of tote bags..
Using a tote bag is a great idea. I also usually carry a tote bag 😍 However, it is a fact that the salesperson in the supermarket will not weigh and charge me when the product is not wrapped in plastic bags.😛 😛
Uugghhh, that is so annoying. I hope people will understand the long term impact of plastic use to our environment.
