Plastic bags are an environmental disaster

Plastic bags are an environment disaster; they do not naturally decompose, they choke marine life, they clog drains, they fill our landfills ,they are habitats of mosquitoes and burning them produces toxic carbon emissions .The more they are produced and  not recycled the more our environment gets choked , question is , until when?

It is necessary therefore to provide a way forward on their production and disposal. A week ago, Nairobi faced one of the worst floods possibly in its history after drains were clogged, roads rendered impassable, people died, and others got injured while property worth millions was destroyed. Most people are blaming solid waste for the floods; they believe plastic paper bags blocked drainage systems where runoff passes. There is a undisputable correlation between solid waste disposal especially plastic bags and the flooding.
