In an effort to reduce plastic bag pollution, Kenya has introduced tough laws that will result in a prison term of up to 4 years or a maximum of $40,000 for any Kenyan producing, selling or even using plastic bags, although initial enforcement will target manufacturers and suppliers.
"The East African nation joins more than 40 other countries that have banned, partly banned or taxed single use plastic bags, including China, France, Rwanda and Italy."
Bags can take 500-1000 years to decompose, in the mean time killing or harming wildlife and entering the human food chain.
What is being done about plastic bag pollution where you live?

Get lost, hippie. SN is news for millionaire boomers whose life goal is to rape and pillage and whoever dies with the most money wins.

Ok it isn't TMB, he doesn't have the attention span for this sustained level of downmodding. It must be the kmorrollow faction. Teeny tiny snowflakes melting in the hot Kenyan sun, afraid for their lives as they get surrounded by dark skinned people.
