In June 2006 United Nations Environmental Program report estimated that there are an average of 46,000 pieces of Plastic debris floating on or near the surface of every square mile of ocean. The world uses over 1.2 trillion Plastic Bags a year. That averages about 300 Bags for each adult on the planet. That comes out to over one million Bags being used per minute. On average we use each Plastic bag for approximately 12 minutes before disposing. It then lasts in the environment for decades. Recently, a Plastic bag was found floating in space by Nasa! We call upon SM Supermarket, Robinsons Supermarket, Metro Gaisano, Rustans, Ayala Malls, Ever Gotesco, Isetann, Plaza Fair, Araneta Malls, Waltermart, and ALL other shopping malls and centers to safeguard the health of our citizens and to promote a healthier environment where solid waste management and flooding is not always a problem by offering a nationwide program to forever ban the use of Plastic Bags. 80% of pollution in seas come from land-based activities. Let us put a stop to the indiscriminate disposal of waste in general. Let us strengthen the capability of the State to protect the environment and at the same time make better use of the resources such as Plastic packaging to deliver goods to our people. Recently, a bill imposing an excise tax of P2.50 for every Plastic bag used in business establishments has been filed at the House of Representatives. House Bill 4134 filed by Alba ...

Wal-Mart aims to cut Plastic-bag waste in its global operations by an average 33 percent over the next five years, the retail behemoth announced Thursday at the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative . And if you ever doubted that Wal-Mart is big, consider this: The move is expected to eliminate some 9 billion Plastic Bags each year, equating to more than 135 million pounds of trash by 2013. Wal-Mart will give out fewer Bags, offer Plastic-bag recycling, and encourage customers to use reusable totes (it will offer its own line of reusable Bags for 50 cents each). In the words of one exec, the goal is to "encourage consumers to change their behavior, just one bag at a time." That appears to apply particularly to non-American consumers: The 33 percent average will be attained by cutting bag use 50 percent in international operations and 25 percent in the U.S. sources:  Associated Press , Reuters , Business Wire ...
