A World Economic Forum recent report said that by the year 2050 if we do not change our ways there will be more plastic bags in the ocean than fish. This is quite alarming and the step and direction Kenya has taken will greatly help in mitigating this global problem. It’s, therefore, important that all nations impose bans on single-use plastic bags and even to the larger extension disposable cups and straws, and believe me, we will not die once that happens. I hope all single-use plastic packaging whether be they shopping bags or those that wrap bread and sugar will face the same axe. It’s, therefore, my joy that plastic bags have been banned in Kenya.
