Plastic Bag Pollution of Sea and Beaches

[oldsailor35]

The General claims that he is concerned about the pollution of beaches. So why does he not ban the use of plastic bags and excessive packaging. Thailand is one of the worlds worst polluters of plastic, as someone has pointed out, go into 7-11 buy a packet of crisps and a bottle of water and they shove it into a plastic bag without even asking. I usually take my purchases out of the bag and drop it on the counter. In other countries some supermarkets will not give you a plastic bag but will sell you a carrier bag or even allow you to collect a used cardboard carton from them.

A global problem.

I am sure the west used plastic containers long before Thailand.

So if Thailand cut back in the future all is even.
