Look at this! I was so happy when I saw this at the Alabang Town Center yesterday. This bread shop was closed apparently because it just went on using plastic. Hmmmph. I'm so glad the local government did this to show they mean business.
This is a good start and I hope that retail establishments do the right thing. We already know that too much plastic--plastic bags, especially--harm the environment, yet many stores wait until there is a law to do something about it. There are stores that use paper bags in branches covered by this law, but who continue to use plastic in areas where there is no law. Bad. That's just plain moral laziness. We keep bickering about our government, but this is one instance where I feel they're doing a great job, but now the people have to get with the program.
Get with it!
