I am not against the plastic bag ban in Kenya. Before it was law, even before it was a bill, I remember there was a Change.org petition and I signed it.
This time we traveled to Rwanda and we were amazed at how clean everything was and how serious the government took the plastic ban in the country. I wished then we would do that. And now that we have, I have some questions and concerns:
- Why do we have to pay for the cloth bags?
- Why should the cost of going green be passed down to the consumer? Shouldn’t it be on the producers?
- Does the law totally ban use of, or does it ban distribution of, or does it ban production of plastic bags? Can someone explain this?
- Does anyone care that this law seems to be affecting the poor?
I ask myself these and more questions in the video above. Sorry, the audio isn’t so good. But I’m pretty new to speaking in videos…
