Plastics should be banned in Kenya

Plastic bags below 60 microns are regarded as non-reusable and problematic when recycling. Environmental activists and other environment conscious people think that continued production of millions of these terrible non-biodegradable bags is a disaster in waiting.

The very thin plastic bags, some so thin they can only be used once and mostly issued by supermarkets, grocery stores and kiosks are choking our lakes and rivers. They are blocking major drainage systems in our towns and it has been proven that they are contributing to air pollution by releasing harmful carbon every time they are burned.
